A quick update, and then I will have to get back to work. Much is happening, and none of it is easily solved.
I have been staying close to Freya these past few days, but she seems to be doing well. Whatever flash of awareness she had in the moment of George’s accident, it does not seem to have stayed in her conscious memory. Her dreams, however, have been troubled, and she has not been quite so eager to see or speak to George as she was. I want to reassure her that what she felt had nothing to do with him, but subconscious thoughts and impetuses are hard to shake, and I am not quite certain how to offer reassurance. Having been such an influential and powerful angel, she may well continue to attract heavenly activity, as well as its opposite. What can be done about that, I am not certain. Perhaps I will talk to Eburnean about assigning her a Guardian.
The dynamic between Gabrielle and Nick is changing in a way that I do not like. Ever since they spoke after their last aborted argument, Gabrielle has been trying very hard to make amends. She has been conscientious about maintaining their relationship, coming home to him on time and keeping all planned outings with him. I would like to say that it has helped, and it is true that they have not argued at all in the past two weeks, but Gabrielle is beginning to feel that the relationship is a burden. Far from Nick being her refuge, she feels that she has to prop him up, urged on by guilt. Nick, for his part, is complacent. He believes that all is well between them, and his happiness makes it difficult for me to make it clear how much Gabrielle is struggling. I am trying to bolster her and to open his eyes, with limited success thus far.
Harrington has been very busy. When he has not been at work at the office, he has been sending emails to former classmates of his, asking for their support in his newest endeavor. The busyness has been good for his spirit, but not so much for his body, and Brid and I are struggling to maintain a balance. If we did not know one another so well and were not in such accord as we have always been, there might very well be tension between us, and so I am grateful for Brid.
She says she has been given a new charge who might benefit from my assistance, but I do not believe Danit would approve. I have not spoken to Danit in some time.
I should be on my way—Anna plans to call Rob this evening, and I want to be with her when she does. There is another problem I cannot yet solve, although perhaps it is not such a problem as I fear. I can only hope for wisdom and grace in the days to come.
