I have spent much of the past days looking after Tammy and Lamarr, for multiple reasons. Their wedding is now only a week away, and there are many pressures and stresses on both of them even amid the happiness of this time. I have been much called upon to offer patience and peace, and glad to be able to give it. Too, Tammy is still grieving, and I have been much in communication with her Comforter, Beriah. We hope to bring her to an emotional stability so that she can begin her married life without any weight drawing her back.
Finally, I am jealous of my time with these two, my first charges, my initial contact with humanity. I know that my reason for losing them is the best possible one, and that I will still be permitted to visit them and look after them. Still, this will be an ending, and I am sorry to see it come.
Nozomi has invited me more than once to come along with her to see Jesse and Ramona, but I have refused. I know that they are in good care, and I do not want Nozomi to be tempted to return control of their case to me. She now also has the assistance of our sister Andra, a young Cupid still in training who has helped me with Jesse and Ramona before. Andra tells me that Ramona and Jesse are flourishing under Nozomi’s care, and while my sister may protest that she has done little to make this so, I believe that they will do very well with her. I am pleased to also report that Nozomi, while she still seems anxious, has no longer that aura of fear around her. I hope and pray that she will continue to heal.
My last bit of news is that which I find most exciting: Danit has my first new assignment for me! His name is Jonathan Harris, and he lives in a small town in Maine called Standish, which is a name I find amusing. I have not met him yet—that is tomorrow’s task—but Danit warns me that he may be a challenge.
Rather than put me off, this news excites me. Challenging work tells me that my seniors have faith in my abilities, and it means I will have much time to spend with this new charge of mine. I look forward to this newest beginning.
