When Owen moved Julianna could see the animal better. It was smaller than she was imagining, given the fuss he had made about it. An almost involuntary coo of sympathy sounded behind her lips, following the canine’s pained noises. She gaped at him when he offered to put the animal down with a cool air of indifference.
“It’s so little,” Jules said, halfway to a whine as she moved around her husband who had blocked her sight again. To her, it didn’t seem rabid, just hurt. When it came to animals Owen had a penchant for over reaction. “I think it crawled into your bag for safety.”
A small towel appeared in her hand, plucked from a lingering shadow, to protect her hands and her clothing from the blood as she best down and scooped up the animal. “Call Cain instead.” The dog didn’t fidget or protest, either too weak or not nearly as dangerous as Owen seemed to think.
“He’ll know what to do.” It wasn’t a suggestion or a question. She was simply telling her husband what she was going to do next and he could either tag along for the ride or leave her to do as she would on her own.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
