Broken Antler Fen Thinking out loud.

OOO She did not

Pearl shrugged, relieved at his conclusion. "You never know," she said, at the same time hoping, as much as she liked Haven, that she wouldn't try and win him back. Not that she thought he even would, after his assertive opinions about her. 

Sebastian relapsed back into the story she thought was going to be told at a later time, but accepted it gladly nonetheless. He mentioned his father, to which she had to laugh when he said she wouldn't believe they looked alike. She let him finish, drinking in every word, before explaining herself. "I'm sorry, but I've met your father already. I understand what you mean when you talk about him. Not that he did anything to me," she said, hurriedly throwing in the last part as a reassurance. 

He talked about having a good family for his pups, making her smile before glancing at him. How did she get so lucky to be found by him that one sunny autumn day in the meadow? "I want the same for mine, pups growing up happy and loved," she said, images of those pups coming back to mind. She wasn't completely sure if she was ready to be a mother, but the idea of it was exciting, making her chest swell slightly and a smile to come. Really, it was hard to tell when she stopped smiling around him.
