Firestone Hot Springs Everybody Hurts

Yes, he wanted to say, my pack is right over here. If you are a good wolf, if you work hard, we will take you in.

But he had done enough this trip, and wondered whether there would even be a spot for him when he got back. It wouldn't be right to bring the woman into it - for her or for them - so Day decided to drop that idea.

"I don't have anywhere for you to stay," he admitted, "but I don't have anywhere to be, either. If you need to rest, we can find a warm place, and I can keep watch for the night. It'll be no trouble."

What was one more night away from home? He wasn't too hungry, and although he was pretty tired himself, home was just a trot away. He could watch for the woman tonight, and be home again in the morning.
