He hadn’t been Meg’s. Meg Roarke with her wide face and hard eyes and beery breath. He hadn’t come out of her after all. He’d come from that sweet-faced young girl, fresh off the farm. One who’d loved him enough to dress him in blue pajamas, and hold him close to her cheek for a picture.

This was such an emotional book x
I absolutely LOVE this book because of Roarke’s discovery.
I know these are not real people except in my mind, but I still cried for him. I loved this book!
Just a little more Dirk Hastings before we head back to Roarke. Those are some creative thoughts! -Laura
