Towhee nodded when Aquene mentioned visiting in the future. Whether Meerkat and her kiddos came here or she took her own to the beach one day, it was an idyllic thought. She knew it would be a lot easier said than done and probably couldn’t happen until later, in the fall, perhaps.

It’s kind of funny to think, these guys are gonna be younger than their own nieces and nephews, Towhee mused, indicating her baby bump. Anyway, I’m just glad things worked out for her in the end. By the sound of it, Meerkat’s really found her happily ever after up there at the coast. The end.
