Summary

Now that it's just you and I... alone, let me ask you a question, won't you, my dear guest? Do you keep any secrets? I'm afraid I'm about to break your heart with my story about the secret of this lovely old painting. You don't think I can? You don't think this witch is wicked enough to do it? Alright... We'll just let Natasha pour the tea... and I'll tell you the secret that was never meant to be told... or maybe it was. This is the story of The Angelus -- I read somewhere that "you have to keep breaking your heart until it opens" Love, Miranda

Natasha. Thank you Natasha.

My tea is exactly the same as yours except my cup is an antique and yours is a replica of the

I want to ask you something personal, my guess. Do you keep any secrets?

2:22.3

I'm not asking you to tell me what they are, mind you. I'm inquiring if you keep any truly
