Hmmmmmm..... I dunno about this, since it's never happened to me, but I'm willing to allow for the possibility.

Note to self: If I ever find a love such as Mark and Lani found, I must remember to invent an absolutely unique pet name for my paramour, so that if I find myself communicating with him in the same way Lani does with Mark, my guy will have no doubt that the message is from me (of course, if he hears someone in his head call him "baby", he'll know in an instant that it's NOT me – I just don't like that pet name and I'd never use it!)!

Strange and beautiful story, Mark. Thanks for sharing it.
