The Black Dot Queen sent a veritable flurry of pigeons to Dotland today. Unlike her usual heavily armed and armored hostile pigeon bullies, today's pigeons were subdued and gray. Maybe she is still under the influence of a Be Nice spell cast by the White Queen. The Dots are eagerly awaiting their meeting with the White Queen later this week. They have learned that the Black Dot Queen will also be in attendance. It's probably better that way. One gets nervous when the Black Dot Queen is out of sight.
Someone pointed out today that even if the Black Dot Queen from this point on behaves as the team player and great communicator that she currently pretends to be, her mistakes of this time will still not be forgotten or forgiven for years. She could have taken up drug addiction or alcoholism and been forgiven faster.

That's the thing about trust. When it is strong, it can withstand almost any offensive blow, although trust itself is intangible. A spider's silken web or a feathery cloud has more substance. When trust has been broken, it becomes this mess of yoke and shell like Humpty Dumpty who can't be put together again. You can try to mend it, but it will never be the same perfection.
Even if the Black Dot Queen became the epitome of grace and communication, the dots would all be suspicious of what she was plotting. They would peek at her feet to see if she was wearing both shoes and they would wonder when the other one would drop -- and on whom it might drop.
