Tamsyn didn’t understand how Maggie failed to stir when she eased herself away at four in the morning, but she was grateful for whatever force made it so. Gizmo stood at once, cocking his head to stare at her, but she put her finger on her lips and he miraculously kept quiet. She tucked the blanket carefully around Maggie, her heart aching as she did so; Maggie looked so peaceful asleep, her eyelids flickering as she dreamed.

“I’m so sorry,” Tamsyn whispered into the cold, quiet room. “I wish it could be different. If it could, I’d give you the whole fucking world, Maggie.” Her throat constricted, and she swallowed hard before turning away from the sleeping form.

She crept to the bedroom to retrieve her clothes, but didn’t put on her boots until she’d slowly inched the front door open enough to slide out onto the front porch. Was she yet more of a chicken for running off without saying goodbye? Possibly—but they’d been saying goodbye all evening, with their bodies, their mouths, their fingers. Somehow, she thought Maggie would understand. She looked back when she reached the path that would lead to her own cottage, and her heart wrenched. Maggie had shown Tamsyn what might have been possible, if she’d made different choices. She knew she was too old to make them now, but it was nice to have experienced that, even just for a couple of weeks.
