MOON-BOUND HEARTS

It was such a simple thing, such a child's solution. But it was exactly what Elara needed.
"Yes," she said softly. "Yes, we can."

"Moon, watch over Papa." Luna's voice was clear and strong. "Keep him safe. Bring him home."
Ayla added her own prayer. "And keep him warm. And give him good dreams."
