"Something happened. And we never got past it."

It didn't seem right for Elwood to press for more information -- not in the face of what he had just learned, that Finley did not believe she would survive this pregnancy. But he couldn't stop himself. Those simple words -- her elusive explanation -- reminded him that there was still a lot that he didn't know about her. He knew that she came from a large family, and that they had bestowed her with the name "Frog." That she hated that name and he was one of the few in the Teekon Wilds who knew of it -- perhaps the only one.

In addition to that, he knew that there were still a lot of unanswered questions about their first fight -- the one that had almost broken them. Peregrine thought that something had happened to Finley that had closed her off from love. What was it? Was it in any way related to Tiarnach and their falling out?

It likely wasn't in his best interest, but he forged ahead. Now, he was looking down at Finley with clear eyes, though he was still curled lovingly around her. "What happened?" he asked softly.
