A month has passed and Alexand was sedated to aid in her recovery from heart surgery. The sedatives are wearing off, and she begins to hear voices. (This issue is dedicated to my son, Sam, who is 18 today. Happy Birthday, Sammy, one of the few people who are as real to me as my characters.)

Wishing your son a joyful birthday and all the best for the year to follow. Cheers.
Thank you, Lori!
Happy birthday, Sammy – you have a very talented mother.
Thanks, Roland! 🙂
Mmmm. A hammock on an exotic beach. A lover lying close, kissing and spilling sangria on skin. Wow! only Mum could bring her out of that world. Welcome back Alexand. Love the story and – Happy birthday to Sam.
Thanks, Darnell, yes Inajda definitely injected some reality into Alexand’s head! Thank you, Sam had a great Birthday! 🙂
