Three partners dancing together forever. A natural triad. One female. Two male. Or was it one male and two female? Eternally moving at an angle of 104.45º.
Three is the most stable. Prime number. Can’t divide without leftovers. Table can’t stand without three. “Magic number”
Universal solvent. Can be liquid, solid and gas. Needed for life. But too much brings death.
Human body is 72%.
“River, what are you doing sweetheart?”
She blinked and looked up to see Shepherd Book standing next to her at the sink. She put her glass under the running water and smiled.
“Getting a drink”.
