Oh my. This is so beautiful and poignant, @stormcharmer. I can see that swan dive! I cringed, fretting about those rocks! How many times in my life have I thrown away something precious — just wanting it away from me, where it no longer has power — only to realize that I had to get it back?
We've missed you! So great to see you in The Ink Well again.
That boy - swan-diving right into the rocky sea below! He's a bit reckless, isn't he? 😅 Love can do that. I think he would rather die trying, than lose her. Thankfully, he's done it before, and will most likely do it again, so he's an "old pro" when it comes to timing the waves and judging the distance from life to death.
He's always a bit banged up when he returns, though. Thank the stars she's a gentle nurse.
I've missed @theinkwell also, @jayna. I make attempts to return, but like the boy - I toss that key. Thank you for always being a gentle nurse when I come limping back. 😅
Just please keep retrieving the key, @stormcharmer! But watch those darn rocks! 😘
