So, why the song? Everyone around me, save very few, think I'm nuts, especially with the stories I've written and continue to write about Colin Firth. It may turn out that I am.  I found out that this is Colin's fav romantic song from the Love Actually book.  I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. I listen to it a lot now.  And it is kind of apropos to the stories, so I used it here and later in a chapter.

I went back to old formulas for this story.  My daughter again has helped in a few chapters and with music selections on occasion. A bit of flashback text but not as much.

The locale has changed.  I got tired of flying to London.  This time Colin had to come here.  Seems fair wouldn't you say? I again included locale photos at the end of the story and the song lyrics.  For those who can not get the music to play, I can email any of the songs directly to you, just ask.

As before, If you haven't read the first two stories you may get lost. I highly recommend you read those first:  ESSENCE REMAINS     ENDURING ESSENCE
