The City of Spinning Compass

[In the morning, a present has been left out for Juliet on their living area table. First, a soft sea silk robe in deep violet with creamy white lace trim. Second, a seahorse pendant made of blue seaglass, crystal beads, and ocean pearls all wrapped up in a delicate, silver wire resting atop the garment.

To My Darling Angelfish,

I have been meaning to give you these gifts for a long time. In all of the chaos of the oil spill, the Spire's downfall, and distraction all of that caused, I neglected to celebrate with you our two year anniversary.

I love you,
Cristiano
