My heart will have to make room for more. As tall as a Great Dane, with the elegant snout of a collie, the markings of a wolf, and mismatched eyes-one blue the other brown-Blue means the world to me. Blue shifts closer, leaning his warm weight against me. The soft ping of a voicemail brings my eyes open. Blood rushes in my ears, and my heart throbs in my chest…a tidal wave is washing me away. Squeezing my eyes shut, pressing more tears free, I hold my breath. Will my child love Blue as I do? My phone vibrates on the bathroom counter, and I hiccup a sob. My dog, Blue, whines and presses against my side, his warm tongue laving my cheek, his musky scent enveloping me. I huddle in a low ball, emotion bowing me. Tears roll, hot and slow, down my cheeks. Gripping the test in my hand, I can’t stop staring at the blue cross in the window. Download Savage Grace Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
