***My darling. Very many kisses, up in that aerie of which I have very many happy memories, none of which unfortunately, involving making love with anyone, let alone with you. But I will be there with you in some fashion, darling, thinking of you, hovering like a benevolent spirit with sweet-breathed kisses, loving you.
This morning outside the windows a gentle rain patters in the garden, sounding through the hazy gray and green. I settle back against the bedclothes, eyes closed, and conjure elaborate ravishing visions of you dearest Minotaur, fully wakened.
