“I knew it!” Finn enthused. Then he turned to Miranda. “Let’s go see if we can start breakfast for these very hungry men,” which was followed by a wicked little laugh. “Look, the cats must be hungry, too. Let’s go. I can use your help.” Bless him, he shut and locked the door behind them.
So later, late morning, work done, boy buried, Talia finally not crying anymore, Miranda said a prayer. “It’s about a rainbow bridge where dogs go when they die, but I think they’ll let that boy in, too, so the dogs will have someone to play with.”
I opened the garage door manually, and everyone else piled into the Hummer. Burk backed it out, and after I had pulled the big door shut again, I also climbed into the huge vehicle. Even with all of us in there, it still felt roomy. Off we went. We had no trouble at all the entire drive over. I think Finn was disappointed.
