we had it all

Bourbon felt oddly nervous but he refused to show it for Lucretia’s sake. As always, the dog was at the Shamyn’s heels, he was here if she needed to lean on him and he would offer her whatever he could. Eventually they happened upon Deathbelle. They needed to speak to her sooner rather than later when she could more easily tell her sister was pregnant. Questions would come up and they'd be forced to admit eventually.

Luce sought his presence and the dog moved up both obediently and voluntarily. He wanted to be beside his love. He wanted to support her and wanted to show how much he cared for the woman. There would be no reason to think she wouldn’t be taken care of completely, and he knew her happiness was blossoming with their relationship. He stood proudly beside her, his long furred tail wagging softly at their hips.
