Silver Creek Do I Know You?

Spring's acceptance was a breath of relief, but at the same time it was like a blow to the heart directly. Not that she was upset there was no more fight, she was upset any of this had to happen at all. As the woman drooped, Amber reached forward and ran her muzzle along the length of Spring's face, murmuring softly.

                 "Ne vous inquiétez pas, chère sœur. Ce n'est pas la fin."

It was then that Heston spoke - at once, she turned to face him, brow furrowing in confusion and irritation. How dare he try to leave Spring, too? Losing one is bad enough - why would he even suggest that? Spring was hurting enough from Ambers decisions, she would not allow this.

                                                                          "Don't be a fool - I love you both with all my heart, I love SILVER CREEK.... Leaving would only hurt Spring more, with or without me here. But this isn't about me. Its not about you, about Spring, about the Creek - it's about my pups and the life they deserve. I don't know if the pack will take me in, but I've gotta find Grayday to at least try, try to have a complete family."

She was struck silent by the very last question - couldn't Grayday just come here? That, she didn't know how to answer. Grief overwhelmed her, then, and a sob wracked her. The ebony woman shook her head, eyes squeezed shut as if holding back her misery.

                                                                                                                                              "I'm so sorry. To both of you.... I've been acting horribly lately. I didn't mean to push you guys away, or break rules, or be a... a... A bitch. But this is how I fix things - if they accept me, I hope both of you will come meet the pups in a few months."
