I just mailed off my last transcript and actually had a vaguely healthy lunch, what I ate yesterday was rather nuts so won't do that again.

They didn’t really talk so much as drink and not talk as ghosts wandered through the room with silent eyes that remembered. By morning, Will was curled up in Atton’s arms and the bottle was empty.

Hera’s voice cut through the air and made Demeter wince from where she sat.
“I don’t wish to and I have Kore.”
“She’s going to grow up and marry and then you’ll be alone.”
“I won’t be alone.”
“You’re worse than Zeus sometimes, all those lovers will bore you.”
“I have all I need and I’m not you.”
“Someday she’s going to ask you, why didn’t you marry, mother? Aren’t you unhappy?”
“No, she’s not and I would rather not be tied down, there’s too much out there and you’ve never seen half of what I have when I walked.”
“Yet you always come home and I know that there’s always going to be a husband in my bed.”
“Be quiet!”
Demeter finally stood up and threw a clod of mud at Hera who shrieked and left as Demeter said to the plants she was tending, “I have all I need, my Kore.”

The aria was still in her head but more than that, the look in Tom’s eyes. Jane thought she had pushed him away to a far off place through her writing till he was as close as Mister Darcy and yet seeing him, she felt like a foolish girl again.
His daughter, his daughter who had read her books that is the truth of it not a far off dream of what might have been.
Perhaps if he had not looked at her as if he read her thoughts, that would be simpler and easier since now all she can remember is the feel of his kiss and laughter, too long ago and yet so close.
