“Well?” Morris smiled in anticipation.327Please respect copyright.PENANAx2ajZ9QFqD

“What’s that you’re saying?”327Please respect copyright.PENANAIDG6KNfc7G

“I saw a little girl about three or four peering out from behind the angel, and he was holding a baby in his arm. I’m guessing six or eight months old.”327Please respect copyright.PENANAFnDgcDrQqf

Morris was slack-jawed.327Please respect copyright.PENANAJSAI1guF3y

“Do you have any idea what’s going on?” Grace was breathing hard.327Please respect copyright.PENANAfQqXcE9EFO
327Please respect copyright.PENANAgkAKz9B6Kt
“No, I don’t.” Morris appeared to be as mystified as she was.327Please respect copyright.PENANAnlfli0W9m8
327Please respect copyright.PENANAD3y0Rdb8ww
“What are you going to do?”327Please respect copyright.PENANAVae0Nn1Rrs
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtjYetXwJRu
“I don’t know, my dear. Were you able to speak to him?”327Please respect copyright.PENANASndSHTEwDe
327Please respect copyright.PENANAhAE7QbH9lW
“No … I was so surprised at the sight of the children, I came right down to you.”327Please respect copyright.PENANAti91PYVPbR
327Please respect copyright.PENANAixNGGzM0Aq
They both saw motion at the loft railing and looked up. “Oh, my dear God.” murmured Grace.327Please respect copyright.PENANAALFXm25JOs
327Please respect copyright.PENANAitA78nVRaL
“This has never happened before,” Morris whispered. “Let’s go up and see if he’ll speak.”327Please respect copyright.PENANAWsArG6Lb9s
327Please respect copyright.PENANA8gtaLeTSQD
They stopped at a comfortable distance from the Angel so as not to alarm him. “Will you tell us who you are?” Grace whispered.327Please respect copyright.PENANATfEt9BCBWZ
327Please respect copyright.PENANAEArJmxuEDX
The Angel nodded and moved closer. “You may call me Thomas.”327Please respect copyright.PENANASSm3ui7lkO
327Please respect copyright.PENANAcmysUT99Uz
Grace was struck by the Angel’s melodious voice. “But that’s not your true name … is it?”327Please respect copyright.PENANAtJhPIjohPR
327Please respect copyright.PENANAHDP81g5Fpp
“No. It is better you do not know my real name.”327Please respect copyright.PENANAUlCZdOVoNB
327Please respect copyright.PENANAF6iwks03cJ
“Ok, Thomas, I have no problem with that … but what of the children? Who are they?”327Please respect copyright.PENANAd5wnKNlQfk
327Please respect copyright.PENANAm6mRrzw83c
Thomas was silent.327Please respect copyright.PENANAokD9Qvo9Dq
327Please respect copyright.PENANAyqi1YyPo7f
“Thomas? Who are the children?” Grace’s voice became insistent.327Please respect copyright.PENANAWUCmvUmAaG
327Please respect copyright.PENANALT5QkCq0gT
“They are your children, Grace,” came a soft reply.327Please respect copyright.PENANAvW5ojUBExc
327Please respect copyright.PENANAIqyHExGmPe
“What?” Grace grabbed the stair railing. She turned to Morris, “What is he talking about?”327Please respect copyright.PENANAKC1Co37PFA
327Please respect copyright.PENANAGEcHzyfJSO
“I don’t know, my dear. Perhaps we should let him tell us.” He looked sympathetically at Grace and then turned his gaze to Thomas.327Please respect copyright.PENANAxtwhoKlrPv
327Please respect copyright.PENANAl7ljDDNY2l
Grace looked up and waited. Her mind raced into the past as doors of her private world flew open.327Please respect copyright.PENANAJp6peVISTZ
