ménage à what?

never fear. the lovers have continued with the morning - and sometimes evening - ritual of flowers. and let's not forget the twirling. they certainly don't.

and now there's a third. yes. you heard me. in the past couple of weeks, we've noticed another man has come in. waited. undoubtedly overheard the neighborhood musings in regards to the lovers. and greeted whichever lover arrives first. and proceeds to join them for their stay.

we have yet to determine what Thorn's role is. a chaperone? a mediator? a voice of reason?

the other day, as he watched Male Lover and Female Lover in mid-twirl, Thorn was overheard proclaiming, "Can't you give these people a break?"

we practically broke out into applause.
