Duck Lake Snuck Out Like A Teen

Heartha was glad he was doing fine. Then, she felt that she could trust him enough. Either that, or she was too trusting. She couldn't know which it was. "Howl...Lately, I've had something weird going on...I think it's stress, or something. But it's been going for for a bit." She smiled up at him. She didn't feel stressed at the moment. And whatever was following her, it did not seem to be around when he was. 

"Yet, I don't feel stressed around you" she added. "And I thank you for that. For coming, meeting me here." She stopped herself from saying anymore. She felt she said enough. Then she made a nervous little laugh. "I'm not even supposed to be out here. I'm supposed to be with the pack." Coming out here, against the words, or rather advice of another, it made her feel young again.
