Silvertip Mountain The Big Beginning

Chaska's jaw almost dropped, and he found himself unable to reply. He had never had someone to love affectionately before. No one to wake up to on most or every morning. No special someone being in his life to hunt for if need be. He hadn't even had a crush before! Even if he did, how would he know.
