Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the newest Starmark.

Once a Mother
Sonnet blinked. “You don’t mean that.”
“I don’t mean it in the way you need it meant,” Jacques admitted. “But I love you in my way.”
His gaze dropped to his tea, but his tail swayed. “You’re too kind.”
Jacques really wasn’t. Well, hardly ever. “You miss it. Mothering, I mean.”
Sonnet hummed. “I came back for a whelping feast. Clarion took to me right off.”
“But…?”
“Mum thinks fatherhood would suit me.”
“Driving you into the streets on a frigidly awful day, where you happened upon a butler in need of mothering?”
Sonnet really did have the sweetest smile.

Awww…sweet! Maybe Sonnet needs to be at Stately House…there are a lot of crossers that need mothering. You know, you are quite sly about bringing characters from other tales back into the forefront. Yesterday I reread Hemmed in Silver just to refresh all the lovely nuances again. It was very satisfying to focus in on Sonnet (as well as everyone else). It is a wonderful world to get lost in. ❤️
