Stone Circle He's a tramp

Steph was too young to realize that the relationships she built as she grew were based on a strong foundation. She understood being there for someone, and how it felt when that someone wasn't there. She hadn't, though, been taught about honesty. Probably because she didn't realize there was such a thing as lying. 

Still, she was a little surprised that Moo confessed that he didn't like Ezekiel. She did understand that it didn't necessarily mean he was a bad wolf, but she worried. What if I'm intolerant of his bullshit? she asked. What if she took the time to get to know him, and found she didn't like him either? Would that hurt her mother? Valette hadn't yet pushed her to create a bond with her father, for which Steph was glad. But, would Valette be disappointed if Steph tried, and failed? Will Mama be mad if I don't like him? she asked then.
