This boy needed someone to love him. And she could dothat. That would be a very easy thing for her to do.She pulled him close to her, as close as she could, asclose as shed held her own babies the days they wereborn. She held him tight and she put her cheek to his headand she could feel him start to calm. And then, even beforehe was silent, June had already made up her mind.I will love you, June told him. And she did.
