"Yeah, you do," Shale agreed, but then he shook his head, not willing to accept her writing off her strength so easily. "But not everyone gets there. Some just let themselves fall apart. You've done well." He pressed his muzzle to her shoulder, hoping she would accept his praise, let herself bask in her accomplishments, for once. Shale knew it was not her way, but still. . .

His lips pulled tight as he thought of his own moments of weakness. "I have never dealt with grief well," he murmured. A darkness bloomed behind his eyes, windows to the past. If she had seen him after Lucy, the babes. . . She would not recognize him. He wouldn't want her to recognize him.
