THE END.

"Reth?" she whispered. But there was no answering good-natured grunt, no thud of heavy footsteps in the corridors of her mind…

The tears spilled over and she tried to breathe through them.

In the next room, her teenage son crowed victory over his latest foe, while at her feet, the twelve-pound ball of fur and fangs that had inspired the heart of more than one beloved character, snored softly.

"Reth?" But, he was gone. He was truly gone.

An ache began in her chest as her mind scanned back through the most incredible ten months of her career, and everything she and Reth had experienced together. All the hearts and minds he'd touched. All the ways he'd brought her own heart and mind back to life.
