Speechless

Coop knew how this worked, but he stood there, completely tongue-tied, staring up into the face of the most beautiful person he’d ever seen.

“Is your voice only for skies?” That was Torloo.

Mutt—the name so didn’t fit—slowly shook his head. “When I’m like this, people tend to… stare.”

He meant Coop.

Coop was staring.

Stopping wasn’t possible.

Like all wolves, Mutt was a big guy. He slowly lowered himself into a crouch. Long fringes of black hair framed his upturned face, and his eyes were the same—warm ivory, wry and wary.

Words failed, so Coop… whined.
