Yeah. This does cross the line... Is it more fairy tale than romance?

Some wait.

Believe a date.

Sometimes late.

Someone’s fate.

Meant to be.

Romance tale

Rest is destiny.

That's it. A bit Cinderella-esque. I am still a teenager at heart... sigh...

Thanks. I hope you and your family are well. Send news of your nephew when you have a chance. Are you writing?

All good here. Nephew will go back to work in two weeks. A few of the others are permanently disabled. I've been traveling up north. Writing has suffered. I'll email you soon.

Thank you, Nathan. A little practice with shortened dialog with minimal attribution. I am a sucker for romance. Always have been.

That’s a truly amazing story. I love it. It’s perfect.

It’s like Raymond’s purrfect world except for the accident, but that was the necessary element, like Raymond’s birds.

Thanks, Al. Yes, I guess to be honest, a story has to have a little "bad news". Just like life.
