    Morning graced my window, illuminating the room in soft orange cream.  I went to stretch and bumped into something.  I drew in a startled breath, only to remember that Sanctus had climbed into bed with me last night.  His breathing was soft, but told me he was on the verge of waking.  I eased up…

    I dropped my bags next to the shoe rack when the door clicked behind us.  A sigh escaped me as I absorbed the gentle light of the setting sun in the courtyard.  This had to be one of the more beautiful times of day to see the apartment.

    “Medicus! Got your man here,” I greeted as we entered the secondary building on our compound.  It had been a concrete block office at some point in it’s past.  Now it proved to be our hospital and infirmary.  Two patients at a time was it’s capacity.  If we had an all out war and enough…
