Chapter 35
On the way back from the royal palace, there was a transport wagon accident in the Eastern Quarter. A box of vanilla had slipped in the rain, tilting the wagon and temporarily blocking the street. I stamped the temporary arrangement permit, helped direct the guards and residents, and sent only the star signal ahead to Iris.
(Sorry, Iris. Tonight, I wanted to exchange three lines with you—but I could only send the star signal.)
By dawn, I finally returned to the mansion.
A faint citrus scent lingered in the anteroom.
On the dresser, a waterproof card lay face down.
I flipped it over to find your three lines:
“I’m scared of this part of myself that seeks uncertainty.”
A sharp pang echoed deep in my chest.
Calling it ‘cute’ wouldn’t begin to cover it.
(I want to be the chair for your “fear.”)
While boiling water, I wrote my three “good morning” lines.
Good Morning Three Lines (Laurent)
① I’m sorry I could only send the star signal during the night.
② I’m glad you’re seeking “uncertainty” (and that you can tell me about it).
③ May I hug you today? (Let’s discuss the signal.)
The bell chimed softly.
The morning light slowly rose.
