sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart
Such a sweet, beautiful little girl. Ducky’s heart melts as the tiny filly reaches out to her, desperate for the attention, and she can’t help but return the gesture. Her golden muzzle reaches out to the child’s own, softly brushing against the downy baby fur. The girl reminds her of her own children, her own sweet Golgotha, Isoke and Celyn. She loves all three of them so, so much, and misses them even now that they’ve grown up and gone off on their own.
Then her heart simply falls to pieces when the girl asks if she is her mother.
“Oh sweetheart …” She falls silent for a moment, at a loss for words. “I’m not your momma.” What kind of mother would leave their child here, in such a lonely place?
Then, ever so slowly, an idea begins to form in her mind. Sure, she’s not the girl’s mother … but who says she couldn’t be? She’s been abandoned here after all …
“Sweetie I’m not your mother, but I could be, if you want.” She doesn’t think Fynn would mind her bringing home such a sweet little thing home to the Trails. And, being that the girl is clearly a mini, she’d fit right in with the mostly shorter horses of their herd. “You could come home with me to Echo Trails. And I wouldn’t leave you. Not ever.” And maybe Fynn could be her dad too … but that’s something she’ll have to discuss with him first.
