Their little boy was born with blond hair like his mommy and hopefully, Gabriel prayed, nothing like his daddy.
Elle learned to knit so she could make clothes for him. Gabriel quieted his hunger by making intricate toys. Noah had changed everything about who they were; he was pure and good and they couldn't believe he came from them.
Then one day the puppy they had bought for him turned up dead with its head sawed off, and when they asked Noah why he did it, all he could say was that he needed to know what made it work.
