No, you're not hallucinating two posts in quick succession. Posting earlier rather than later because I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to post later. And it is technically the next day. *g*

A follow up to yesterday's Out of Darkness and possibly the last in this series. Or possibly not.

Day 251

as part of the Heavens' Embroidered Cloths series.

Indeed - still a little unsure of each other and of where the lines are that they must be careful not to cross.

Thanks for the kind words - I always love reading your comments. {{{hugs}}}
