Stone Circle Mad Love

She smiled when her mother had admitted that she had found a mate in Stark. She was quick to shake her head back and forth when Valette was worried about her minding. No way! I like Stark, she comforted. And if he makes you happy, I like him even more, she assured. She had never seen her mother in love before, because Ezekiel sure didn't count.
