тАЬBecause I would love so much to listen to some beautiful music and dance with you. Could we do that?тАЭ

тАЬYou had only to ask, my love.тАЭ Seolar looked toward the main door to the solar, and started to say
something. BirraтАЩs voice floated back to them before he could utter a sound. тАЬI am on my way to get the
musicians, Imallin. They shall be only an instant.тАЭ

Molly sighed and smiled into the silence, truly content.

In that silence, in the stillness of her mind, she heard the heavy, slow flap of a leathery wing, and her
happiness melted away like snow on hot pavement. She froze, concentrating. Had she heard something,
or had she only imagined it?

She closed her eyes and concentrated. And there it was again. Flap. A pause. Flap. It came from a

right?тАЭ

Jake gave her a little smile. тАЬI help,тАЭ he said. тАЬIтАЩm a big boy.тАЭ

He sat quietly in the car seat while she unfastened him, then stood still while she put the plastic bag that
held the bread over his arm. She loaded up with most of the rest of the bags, clamped her keys between
her teeth, and said, тАЬCтАЩon, Jake. Ess go.тАЭ

He followed close behind her, like an obedient little lamb. Lauren wanted to scream. She wanted to cry.
