My true love gave to me...
FROM THE COVER:
Gryff’s orders lay unopened on the table.
The silent tension caused Gem to bite her lip. She tucked a
loose strand of auburn hair behind her ear and shifted uneasily in the chair.
Wide-eyed, Gryff sat stiffly beside her, regarding the envelope. He was like a
statue—hands on his knees—staring interminably at the table.
Finally, Gem cleared her throat. Gryff jolted as if in a
daze and turned to look at her. A look of uncertainty hung in his eyes. She
swallowed the dry, sticky taste in her mouth and reached for his hand. It felt
cold…clammy. Gem could feel the faint tremor of his fear radiating through his
fingers. She took Gryff's hand between her own and squeezed, trying to infuse
heat and reassurance at the same time.
"Sometimes they come back," Gem's voice was barely
a whisper. It was a feeble attempt, but she was grasping at straws here.
Everyone knows.
They don't come back. Never whole, anyway.
Merry Christmas to Tracy H., the recipient of the Fifth Day of Christmas giveaway!
