“A work of art,” Sebastian murmured. And meant it.

    • Thank you, Rochelle! I think there are a fair amount of such trios – from all directions – in the world, and perhaps some of us know someone in that situation, whether it is openly discussed/admitted or sensed and suspected. I hope he finds someone who’d return his infatuation and awe. 🙂

    • LOL, thank you, Penny. I think the fun of these short pieces is that they sometimes tickle the potential of longer ones … which do or do not develop beyond their zygote stage … but some remain in their little incubators, waiting for a possible awakening and further growth … 🙂
      (can you tell a friend’s daughter is going through IVF?) 😉
