The door opens on a tiny fellow.

His hair is going every which way.
This time, there are stripped pajamas, too.

But the look of wonder (for his mother's party) is the same.

It's a good night for a jigsaw puzzle.

Meg has one spread out across the top of a table (one with good light), a photograph of a castle by a lake, currently still in 550 separate pieces.

Well, 549 of them are on the table.

One is underneath it.

But Meg hasn't spotted that yet.

Demeter is smiling when she enters, there's a snowdrop in her black cloak and she feels younger. Spring is coming and Teja is finally finding some true happiness.

The lake behind Milliways is clear, cold and still, with only the wind rippling across its surface now and then.

She is as still as if she were dead, and floats limp and pale in the only barely disturbed water.
