“Oh Tudie!” his mother holds her arms open to me and I let myself be enfolded into her embrace. “Have you heard?” she asks, although from my entrance and the look which is surely on my face, the answer must be obvious.
I nod, for a moment unable to speak.
All three of them resume a quiet
mewling. For a few moments I join them unashamedly. Their pain echoes and amplifies
mine. With no family of my own they are all I have in the world – them and Grey,
and it is he who ties me so firmly to them.
Luckily Tudie is a strong character. She is going to need every last bit of that strength!
Happy Reading! x
