Silver Creek O Captain! My Captain!

She smiled briefly as he called her 'Alpha Spring' a teaser and reminder of their first meeting.  Then he asked her if she had time to talk to him which she did.  After that he told her how he had starting to fit in here.  His last question though lowered her mood.  He asked if she was okay.  Well she wasn't.  Laurel's last words to her were "i wish you were dead" and presumably Reek had stolen and taken the children.  She was anything but okay.

She gave Heston a brief single sad smile before speaking.  "You are welcome to talk to me anytime you like as long as I'm not to busy which I'm pretty much open at the moment."  She paused a moment for breath.  "I am happy though to here that you seem to like it here.  In answer to your question though I will not lie, I'm not exactly okay, but you don't have to worry about me..." Spring trailed off from their, hoping for a change in subject away from the troubles in life.  She really just wanted a normal conversation right now, but if Heston wanted to continue to presume the topic, she would allow it too.
