Hold me close

Poems weeping broke her heart, and she tried to scoop up the growing girl and hold her as close to her heart as she was able. The thought of losing Poem also, swept across her thoughts, and she felt tears pricking in her own eyes. She buried her head into Poem’s plush coat, breathing in the familiar scent of her daughter, and felt herself weeping as well.

“I know Poem, I miss her too” she said through the tears. There was so much going on in Shaye’s life, she felt like the world was trying to throw her heartbreak after heartbreak. The fire, Tana, Vail’s failing health, Motif… it was so much, so much.
