Stone Circle I'm still here

Valette watched as Steph seemed to think of her words. However, the mother didn't expect her daughter to say those words. She tipped her head a bit and looked worried. "Are you sure Murdock said that?," she questioned. She didn't feel like Murdock would say that to a child. "He told me he missed you,"' she spoke in return to her daughter. She felt like Steph might have taken it the wrong way instead of what Murdock meant to say.

"Sometimes other wolves are wrong, you know. Even I make mistakes. I didn't treat Poppy kindly in the beginning either but she seems alright. So maybe Murdock was wrong about what he said. Perhaps you can prove to him that he does need you," she suggested. She was not sure if Steph was ready to do that. Valette was pretty sure her daughter would tell her if so.
