章 191: Sorry, Is This A Bad Time?

Time passed so slowly it hurt.

Visiting became nearly impossible during the winter since even Al struggled to make it to Raisha on his horse through the snow. Abby and Blaise exchanged stacks of letters instead of individual ones so there would be more to read during the time between deliveries but it never felt like enough.

When spring finally came and Raisha ended up having a more bountiful grain harvest than expected she volunteered to go help them out and spent a wonderful month seeing Blaise every day. Then she saw him again at the spring festival back in Ilmir that everyone was invited to.

She spent a lot of time working with Ayana and a few others who knew how to read music transcribing as many songs as they possibly could from her memories back home. It was a long process since she only had her singing voice to go off of but it served as an excellent distraction. Distractions were her lifeline when she had to be apart from her boyfriend.
