Bitterroot Valley and without you is how i disappear

Despite the gloom that hung over her, Lily laughed, eyes twinkling with mirth at Lanawyn's painfully true statement. "God, too right," she chuckled ruefully, wagging her tail. She was beginning to feel a little better; evidently and fortunately, the phrase 'misery loves company' didn't hold up in every scenario.

"I grew up in a pack where there was literally no one besides my family," Lily explained, shaking her head in faint dismay. "I had no friends outside my siblings and cousins. If I wanted to, like, get married or flirt or something, I'd have to leave. And now I leave and everyone loves somebody else!"

She looked at Lanawyn with an intrigued grin. "Were you with Alarian when he came here, or did you find him along the way?" It would be quite ironic, to come all this way to get away from family only to find yourself tangled up with your brother again. Then again, she felt a pang in her stomach as she realized that finding Freddie here might bring her the greatest joy of all. Greater even than romantic love.
