Yes, unfortunately very dark, which is why I never wrote it out before. But then finding the bodies in the river must have been very dark, too. Certainly, as Grey Wonderer points out in her version the rumors and dark stories abounded as to how the situation had become so deadly.

Thank you, and I loved imagining what kind of story Primula might have told that might possibly have had a bearing on her son's future.

Thank you so!
