“Well?” Morris smiled in anticipation.507Please respect copyright.PENANAboemjMQSAX

“What’s that you’re saying?”507Please respect copyright.PENANAEEU2dmTb7H

“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.”507Please respect copyright.PENANA1YAbwG7FOw
507Please respect copyright.PENANArAPOd0BA9H
Morris was slack-jawed.507Please respect copyright.PENANAjHjRElTisN

“Do you have any idea what’s going on?” Grace was breathing hard.507Please respect copyright.PENANAslpvoKY0Ar
507Please respect copyright.PENANAPIcPIPv5Hk
“No, I don’t.” Morris appeared to be as mystified as she was.507Please respect copyright.PENANA7dVLe81WaA
507Please respect copyright.PENANActTC0MxASL
“What are you going to do?”507Please respect copyright.PENANA7O2nC8aUnp
507Please respect copyright.PENANACs7fUYJCyc
“I don’t know, my dear. Were you able to speak to him?”507Please respect copyright.PENANAxUxqIQ8wUW
507Please respect copyright.PENANAh0VwmnQ6sE
“No … I was so surprised at the sight of the children, I came right down to you.”507Please respect copyright.PENANAsioy3Osn0I
507Please respect copyright.PENANAYWx9BwzKpR
They both saw motion at the loft railing and looked up. “Oh, my dear God.” murmured Grace.507Please respect copyright.PENANAgdDoErTKG0
507Please respect copyright.PENANAjOdiULMRts
“This has never happened before,” Morris whispered. “Let’s go up and see if he’ll speak.”507Please respect copyright.PENANAtPjexNF2pO
507Please respect copyright.PENANA100gxpHa83
They stopped at a comfortable distance from the Angel so as not to alarm him. “Will you tell us who you are?” Grace whispered.507Please respect copyright.PENANAjW9r8EkIVH
507Please respect copyright.PENANAKHvmmg2C5M
The Angel nodded and moved closer. “You may call me Thomas.”507Please respect copyright.PENANAEnt5lt9JCZ
507Please respect copyright.PENANAEbF1aauKM2
Grace was struck by the Angel’s melodious voice. “But that’s not your true name … is it?”507Please respect copyright.PENANAYt9dmONlc2
507Please respect copyright.PENANAWwHwWCNPzr
“No. It is better you do not know my real name.”507Please respect copyright.PENANAxUYPYg5XjS
507Please respect copyright.PENANAkPTf8muI78
“Ok, Thomas, I have no problem with that … but what of the children? Who are they?”507Please respect copyright.PENANAUcIkR6qn7b
507Please respect copyright.PENANAHWzSwO7bMP
Thomas was silent.507Please respect copyright.PENANAjbqETHdyHp
507Please respect copyright.PENANA4ntiVTKpeM
“Thomas? Who are the children?” Grace’s voice became insistent.507Please respect copyright.PENANA4envrW64MM
507Please respect copyright.PENANAHuCkkNaGFE
“They are your children, Grace,” came a soft reply.507Please respect copyright.PENANARRWDh6ALW2
507Please respect copyright.PENANABTSKrpyZ78
“What?” Grace grabbed the stair railing. She turned to Morris, “What is he talking about?”507Please respect copyright.PENANAAy6clbu3Am
507Please respect copyright.PENANAoAmcJpri3U
“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.507Please respect copyright.PENANAEd2pQWrXJy
507Please respect copyright.PENANAtnvBGZMvQc
Grace looked up and waited. Her mind raced into the past as doors of her private world flew open.507Please respect copyright.PENANAQzlBbUWdgB
