[sandalwoodie] Melissa's Diary 3

[sandalwoodie]

Nala understood all this, and she suddenly came forward, kissing me.

I could feel the gratitude and the love in her lips and the touch of her hand. Her English wasn’t that good, not as good as Eli’s, but she made the effort. I still had to wonder if this was easy for her. Their customs are their customs, but she is still a woman, a black woman. And I, a white one…

Was I really a part of them now?
I hoped so.......

And…. AND….. Ahhhh, what I didn’t know…… What I did not know but would surely find out….

Lucy…

She was there.

At the window…

She had seen…

And recorded……….

I was still standing completely naked as Nala and Eli departed, with Lucy no doubt witnessing the aftermath of it all.

I had no idea what impact that would have.

Or what might lie ahead…

And that, my friends, is the end of Chapter 3!

Now isn’t that just some of the most lovely artwork you ever saw?

I think it is.

And it’s been a pleasure to write up each panel, hoping to detail each and every image, and to underline what is happening……

I’m waiting for Chapter 4, and when I get it…?

Keep Max Smeagol in your thoughts and prayers…
