Golden Glade Coming Home Once Again

Aspen held herself close to him not willing to move an inch. She had been so worried about Alder while he was gone and it seems with good reason too. He had fallen ill while he was away and he explained that was the reason it took him so long to return. he also promised he would never do that again. Aspen hoped he was right..

Aspen licked his shoulder a few times before speaking. "I've been so worried, I knew you would come back eventually, but...I-I didnt know when...or if you were even okay...and as it turns out you weren't...Alder..Why did you leave like that..." she said her breathe catching once but she had to keep pausing to hold back any tears. She dare not cry right now, but it seems her hormones might have other plans right now as a stray tear rolled down her cheek.
