Heart Journey

by Robin Owens

  The male HeartMated couple who were to run the inn had already arrived, as well as Del’s Healer.

  Their house had been finished yesterday. The white tinting around the many-paned windows gleamed. At last everything was ready for them to move in. Within her satchel was the HeartGift Raz had given her, an exquisite model of Lugh’s Spear. Well shielded until she placed it on a shelf in their bedroom next to his landscape globe that night.

  Rosemary and Shunuk tumbled from the glider, shot through the pillars into the estate.

  Raz wrapped an arm around her, his hand resting lightly on her stomach. They looked at the estate, the hotel in the foreground, their house near the lake. The red and gold tinted theater gleamed like a jewel.

  Del let out a long breath. Finally free of Druida City! “My journey has ended,” she murmured.

  Raz rubbed his chin against her hair. “Our journey together begins.”

  “Yes.” She wrapped her arms around her HeartMate, kissed him, and leaned into his embrace. “Our journey together begins.”
