280 Chapter 280

Faye pulled a pink gown out of the closet across the room, and then a light green one. Bonnie's eyes twinkled as she looked at them.

"You wanna come see?" Lena asked her, standing.

The little girl had both baby dolls under her arm as she took Lena's outstretched hand and followed her across the room to Faye who handed Lena the dresses and some other clothes.

The door opened, and Bonnie made it a step or two into the hallway before she turned and looked at me. I was watching her go, with a smile on my face, glad she'd have a new mama who would no doubt love her to death, but when she turned back to look at me, my heart broke a little bit. She had been mine, for a few moments. For a little while, I'd known what it was to love a child with all of my heart, and I didn't think anything could erase that.
