Her father had taught her about hands. About a dog's paws. Whenever her father was alone with a dog in a house he would lean over and smell the skin at the base of its paw.

It was as if she was tapping into the place where dragons, angels, gods, sorceresses, and demons came to life. — Jamie Le Fay
