Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts

 

You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues

 

 

Every word of this song is perfection, I am amazed how well it suits the characters as well as my emotions.

 'Kate is my friend. That is true. But the songs were for her daughter. And the passion, for ever.' 

...

'But I am her daughter,' Philippa said.

It annoys me occasionally how Philippa sees it as perfctly acceptable to intervene in every aspect of Lymond's life without being invited to do so. Like that knife in TDK or the child-searching in PiF. Or like how she gave John Dee Lymond's date of birth. Not. Her. Business, damn it. 

It's a big part of who she is and I like her but this sometimes drives me up the wall.

"There is cilantro you cannot already guess. You know now what you want. You are about to learn how to give. But the hardest lesson of all is accepting."
