‘Well, now you know they do,’ Harry said, tucking Grace tightly against his body, never wanting to let her go.
CJ sighed.
‘Then I guess I’ll have to be a fireman instead,’ he said, passing the puppy to Harry. ‘Mum said you were here, and this is the one Lily and I decided should be yours because it looks more like Sport than all the others, although it’s got four legs.’
Harry took the squirming bundle of fur and peered into its face. He failed to see any resemblance at all to Sport, but knew once CJ and Lily had decided something, it was futile to argue.
‘Do you mind if we have two dogs?’ he asked Grace, who smiled at him so lovingly he had to kiss her again, further disgusting CJ, who rescued the pup and departed, making fire-siren noises as he raced away.
‘Two dogs and lots of kids,’ Grace said, returning his kisses with enthusiasm. ‘Is that OK with you?’
Harry thought of all he now knew about Grace’s background. Loving without being loved must have been so hard for someone with her warm and caring nature.
‘Of course we’ll have lots of kids,’ he promised, and was about to suggest they start on the project right now when he remembered she was just out of hospital and very frail.
But not too frail to kiss him as she whispered, ‘Thank you.’ Then added, ‘I love you, Harry Blake,’ and made his day complete.
