It’s not like they haven’t done something like this before—Rocky is always pressing his claws up against Grace’s palm—but it’s different for Grace’s whole hand to be so close, to feel the heat of a living thing against his side and against his palm all at once. “Yeah,” Grace breathes. ~~~ On the trip to Erid, Grace is starving.
