The Search Angel (2013)
“They hadn’t started with suds clear up to the baby’s chin, but when Eleanor poured in a capful of baby wash, Sylvie giggled so hard that she poured more and more while Ginny filmed it. Now the child holds her hands above the foam and pats it with her palms.
Shielding Sylvie’s eyes, Eleanor shampoos her massive headful of ringlets, which seem to come in every shade from deep brown at the back to sandy blond at the hairline. Wait till this grows longer, Eleanor thinks. Her hair will likely be stu...nning, but, oh, the tangles.
She thought she knew, before Sylvie’s arrival, what it would be to love her own child. She runs a baby store, for God’s sake. But nothing could have prepared her for this feeling. That full-body melt that comes with watching your baby toddle toward you with a book, try to ride the dog, or sit in your lap and play with your collar. Nothing.
Angus is besotted. The way he stares down at her, his face a curious mix of helplessness and amusement. Eleanor is fairly certain he’d wolf down dry kibble if he thought Sylvie had poured it into his bowl.MoreLess
