With Gwen's note of Rose Cottage's coordinates tucked away after a quick study, Regan transported herself to the little house by the sea, turning up on the front porch, a smile already on her face. She was excited about seeing Katie again, and possibly meeting her little ones ( Read more... )

Katie,

I hope this finds you and your growing family well; I've heard from Gwen and others that you're a mother now. Congratulations!

I'd mentioned, quite a long time ago, the idea of coming to visit with you. Would you still be amenable to such a thing? I'm sure that you're very busy with two little boys, but I'd love to meet them, and to see ( Read more... )

There were dark ink stains on Mira's fingers, the black vivid against her pale skin. While that normally would drive her to distraction, it was ignored just this moment as she scratched another quill across the test parchment ( Read more... )

Huffing, Rose drug her bag by both hands, step by step, up the stairs of White Chapel towards Regan's room. Her dirty clothes were packed into the bag, including several training uniforms from Harpies' practices, and the clothes she'd worn that weekend while attending her brothers' rock festival in Newcastle.

The adults were at work or otherwise out, with Tess along to sit at the stadium with Gwen, since she'd mentioned she'd be out in the afternoon, and though usually Regan was ( Read more... )

He had cast a heating charm, but it wasn't doing anything to warm the lump of ice that had formed where his stomach was supposed to be. Percy waited under the light at the entrance to the park, waiting for the soft pop signaling Regan's Apparation ( Read more... )

Regan,

I hope this letter finds you well. Please let Tess know Jackson sends his greetings.

[some unclear scratched out sentences]

May I request the honor of your company Friday, around seven, in Amberly Park? I'm hoping the weather will have cleared some by that time, and we could enjoy some fresh air.

Fondly,

Jonathan climbed the stairs of White Chapel slowly, no hurry in his step. Gwen had taken Tess for ice cream, a prize for something the princess had done. He didn't mind being left behind, as he'd needed to ask Regan for a favor and he'd rather it be where little ears didn't overhear and give away the surprise.

The door to her room was propped open, ( Read more... )
