Girl Sobbing Quote by M L Stedman - The Light Between Oceans
““Isabel was squeezing the girl to her, sobbing at the touch of her, the legs fitting snugly around her waist and the head slotting automatically into the space beneath her chin, like the final piece of a jigsaw. She was oblivious to anything and anyone else… The woman and child were knitted together like a single being, in a world no one could enter.””
