The publisher wanted October. Elian wanted September. The argument lasted three weeks and was conducted with the specific professional courtesy of two parties who respected each other and had completely irreconcilable positions.

In fact, people who were

The backlash began subtly a critical review of Yael's participatory witnessing methodology in a confederation-affiliated journal, questions about the Verdant Archive's funding sources raised at an academic conference, whispers that Selene Thorne had "lost her way" after Kael's death. Then it became less subtle. "They're calling us a cult," Amara announced, her voice tight with anger as she read from her tablet. "The Supernatural Studies Quarterly just published an editorial titled 'When Founders Fall: The Dangerous Romance of Anti-Institutionalism.'"

November of the eleventh year was the month Don began the next argument. He had waited, as he had said he would wait, until the book was near enough to the world that the next argument could begin without the book requiring the space. The book was printed. The publication was four months away. The space was sufficient.

I also prayed earnestly that he didn’t forget me here. I spotted a bookshelf at the far end of the room and decided to look through it in hopes of finding something to read.
