Pearls! The sea must really like you.

I feel really flattered. I've gotten tiny pearls from mussels before, but I think oysters are new.

Ugh, so sorry you're still ill. Sick + hurricane + singing seem together like too much for real life; also like good ingredients for a ballad?

I'm not sure if the way I sound right now would lull a storm or just raise it further . . .

(I am, by the way, enjoying your book very much.)

I'm so glad!

I like that post a lot.

Thank you.
