Morgan and Brooke’s announcement of their new relationship was—surprising is not quite the correct word. I believe that certain members of their families have been suspecting this for some time. However, I understand that these relations have hoped the current situation would not come to pass. I still do not know why humans object to such a caring and beautiful love, but there it is. Morgan and Brooke are bearing up well under the disapproval. Brooke has known her own…
As you can imagine, I have been busy with Morgan and Brooke over the past few days. Yesterday, however, I was called away to tend to another of my assignments. This can be the difficult as a Cupid takes on several concurrent assignments—sometimes they will need one’s attention at the same time. Thankfully, we have the assistance of our juniors. I myself when I was in training worked with several of my seniors, helping to watch and assess when their…
It seems I did not give Morgan the strength that she needed. I arrived back in their apartment to find them both there, but Brooke was making herself stay in her room, trying to give Morgan space. Morgan was sitting on her bed, flipping through her calendar. Her thoughts were not defined, but they were about Brooke, and there was so much consternation and struggle in her thoughts that I feared the worst. I thought that I had to make…
I must give my profoundest thanks to Tavares, who is an angel of distinction and status, but who was kind enough to listen to my request and agree to assist me. I was most flattered to know that he has been following my humble work, when he is one who helps to translate the Choice Web itself. When I said this to him, he laughed and said to me, “You should not be surprised. I am, after all, a Reader.”…
Danit did not warn me about how stubborn humans can be. Long hours of persuasion have yielded no results—Brooke has kept her self-protective silence, and Morgan remains ignorant of her feelings. It has been all I could do to keep her from making promises to her director that she should not, and my time is running out. They filmed the commercial yesterday, and today was for editing and processing. (I do not know what this means, but what is important…
The complexity in humans astounds me. The Morgan who left for her meeting with the director—excited, hopeful—was as different as could be from the Morgan who returned. She came into the apartment with hunched shoulders, the weight of despondency returned to her, but greater than before. Brooke came out of her bedroom, having heard Morgan unlocking the bolts. “Uh oh,” she says, seeing the look on Morgan’s face. “Didn’t go well?” Morgan dropped her coat on the floor and stepped…
It is disheartening, sometimes, to see how easy it is for well-intentioned people to be turned aside from the righteous way. We, brothers and sisters, prefer to believe that faith in the Father-King and the Repository will lead our warriors home without trouble, but it is never so easy. The Enemy is sly and brilliant, and though he cannot win the battle, he will never give up when he has weapons to wield in human souls. I could see the…
A brief note to let my readers know that I will soon have a new assignment. Danit is finalizing a few details—apparently the readings from the Choice Web are unclear for this one. She tells me, however, that in a day or two she will know what direction I am to take with my new charge. Her name is Morgan Weiss, and she is twenty-six and lives in New York City. She is an actress and a dancer, quite talented,…
Brother Lubos, if you read this—though I doubt that you have the time, busy as you are—know how deeply grateful I am to you. I do not believe there is anyone I would trust more in this matter. For those of you who do not know him, Lubos is one of the most senior cupids, a Power who has worked for several centuries with many successful cases. He is a slow-moving angel, cautious and attentive to detail, so he is often…
It is strange. Danit was rather abrupt with me when I went to ask her about Freya. “I just don’t see that it’s feasible, Asa’el,” she said to me. “Freya Cobb is certainly out of your skill set, despite the promise you’ve shown. She is a feather in the wind.” This is our term, my sisters and brothers, for a human who has no definite connections. There are any number of possibilities, as there are for all humans, but no…
