swan_towerso yesterday evening my husband says to me "two boxes just arrived that say 'Mask of Mirrors' on the side"
and I zoom downstairs to snap a photo to send to Alyc
and they say "I may need to come over there this evening"
and I say "I may have been thinking of asking you to do that"
(because this is my first time co-authoring a book like this, but I knew without asking that I wouldn't be allowed to open them without Alyc present)
(don't worry; we're in a social bubble together anyway)
and behold, my first "unboxing" video ever:

I'm also delighted to hear that Tam Lin had a role in you two collaborators' meeting!

And I have sort of that feeling looking at your faces: HI HI IT'S YOU IT IS ME ALSO HI. No, Marissa, they cannot see you.
