Morningside Cuesta maybe there is someone else in my body, at night

There was a certain degree of tranquility to be found in the steady flow of the river. Akuti had taken the liberty of utilizing this rare source of peace by stretching out on the bank and drifting into an energizing nap before the activities of the evening. A twig snapped behind her, putting her slightly on edge, though she found comfort again with Grayday's familiar face. She barked to let him know she was near before finding her way to him and nosing at the fur on his neck. Where are the kids? she asked, not wanting to overstep any boundaries if they were near.

This is amazing. Akuti's voice was barely over a whisper as she expressed her disbelief of the territory's beauty. Everything seemed more powerful here — light, color, affection, bonds. It was something that Akuti hadn't experienced before but she appreciated all the same.
