“I was just thinking of someone who gave me the best present in the world, and they make me happy.”
“What did they give you, Momma?”

Her blonde hair fell around her face in soft ringlets, and her hazel eyes were bright and sparkling. It was true that Shelby had only met Quinn once, but she could never get over how much she owed the young woman.
