    Summary

    Summary

    Despite his best efforts after Christine leaves, Erik finds himself alive and well and turning fifty. Well, if he’s bound to stay alive, he may as well start living. Of course, any great undertaking requires a first step, which Erik takes literally as a nice morning walk. He may not have a wife to take out on Sunday, but it seems as good a place to start as any.

    Nora Farley has enough money and years on her to live life on her own terms. And if one of the things she wants to do in life is walk by herself to and from early morning mass at Notre Dame, she will. And if she wants to say, “Good morning, Monsieur!” to the shy man who covers his face every Sunday…

    Well, everyone must learn to live with the consequences of their actions, mustn’t they?

    A quiet romance in which Erik takes it upon himself to learn how to live and may, perhaps, find someone to share that life with.

     

    Chapters 45 through 49 are new, for the tenth anniversary.

    Angel-Centered Therapy Through A Multicultural Lens: An Integrative Approach by

    Fandoms: Good Omens (TV)

    Summary

    “I’d love to meet with you,” Davey said, apologetically, when he had been called up by a fellow looking to initiate therapy, “but I’m all booked up for months.”

    “Are you sure?” The fellow said, through a poor connection that crackled.

    Davey had been sure. And yet. Right there in his calendar was a blank spot, just a few days away, which he had somehow completely overlooked before. “How about that…I’ve got Wednesday at eleven, if you can make that work.”

    “What a miracle,” the fellow said, “that would be just the perfect time.”
