Episode 19: Irresistible Forces

The twins pick bright orange California poppies from the yard and put them in a vase. They take the vase to Terrastina, who is working on a painting. Thank you, she says. These are pretty. Do you want to stay and watch me paint? That’s boring, say the twins. We just wanted to give you the flowers. They leave. Terrastina puts the vase on the table next to her paints. She stares at the flowers for several seconds. She turns to her canvas, but all she can think about are the twins. She rises and goes looking for them.
