What a beautiful last line, to round off some gorgeous imagery! And sentences like this: "Tom's threading the labyrinth of mythology tonight." simply make me jealous of your ability.

Poor Minerva. Come away, come away!

Thank you!

And half the fun of the pairing, for me, is imagining the scene where she eventually tells him where to shove it. ;)

So lovely...I really like the way she is so aware in this...and the feeling of her exhaustion comes through so clearly.
