““Though the cottage was quiet, Helen sensed the change before she was even fully awake. It was like standing in a clearing and knowing that a deer was there just behind you, though you couldn’t see it. She wasn’t alone anymore. There was something alive—something both wild and peaceful—close by, and her soul knew it before even her mind remembered.
