My conversation with Danit has borne fruit sooner than I expected. I have just been informed that the seniors will be reviewing my assignments, consulting to see if I may be taken from my earlier charges and assigned new ones in their place. I took this news with both excitement and grief. While I look forward to having new challenges, and while I am deeply glad that three of my couples are doing so well, I will be very sorry…
Today was a strange day. I had just come from assisting a young Cupid with a case—poor Ivana feels what her charges do so strongly that it was distracting her from her work—when Danit called me to meet with another. Apparently Merari is too abrupt and straightforward in his actions, and Danit thought that I could assist him with a bit of subtlety. I enjoy working with the young ones, of course, though I never thought that I would be…
I have news about Myrtle and Darron. It has taken a few days for me to get an assessment of what is really going on between them, but I believe I have enough information now to make it worth passing on. Darron did not reply immediately to Myrtle’s text. There was nothing the following day, which made Myrtle disgruntled. Jaquinn noticed the mood, but did not question it—he is coming to learn how to read Myrtle, when to press and…
Sometimes good news is hard to give. Sometimes opportunity comes with pain. Such the way of things, in the Stolen Garden. Today, after her rehearsal, Morgan returned to her apartment singing softly to herself. The rehearsal went well, and she was happy. The singing stopped when she found Brooke sitting silently at their kitchen table. Morgan could feel as easily as I could the tension in the air. It was this tension that called me to be with them, to…
I am thinking of brothers and sisters today. Not my own—of course we angels are all siblings under our Father-King. Our relationships with one another, however, are very different from the relationships between siblings I have seen on Earth. Sometimes I see some of heaven in their interactions—for example, the nurturing love Pamela has for her young brothers, or the way in which Lamarr thinks of and misses his younger siblings. But all too often people who share the same…
I have been deeply honored. I am so pleased that I could be of assistance, Duerre, though I am quite certain given time, you could have found a solution just as good. For those of you who do not know, I found myself rather at odds today. Having once had insufficient time to look after my charges, today I had too much. All of my charges were either not together today, or they were content and had no need for…
I checked in on Lamarr and Tammy today, as this was to be the day of their wedding. They are doing well, all things considered. It is nearly a month now since Sheridan’s funeral, and the two have borne up under the weight of the recent loss. Shawna, having received the first indication that Tammy was ready to see her again, has not let a single day go by without checking in with her prospective daughter-in-law at least once. She…
Many of you have been asking how my singular charge has been faring. I am grateful for your concern, and pleased to give you an update on Pamela’s welfare. There is still tension between Pamela and her mother, though Pamela now sees her family quite often, even considering the distance between them. Angela refuses to discuss the past, pretending that all the pain and struggle did not happen. She is sharp with her daughter, abrasive, and sometimes they still have…
