Heron Lake Plateau under stars

Finley's gaze traveled across the pack that had gathered. The stars hadn't begun to be of any interest yet. To be honest, even when they started to fall, she probably wouldn't care all that much. She just liked being there.

Her eyes fell on Eljay as he sat with Owen. She smiled softly to herself and prayed for the thousandth time that he might one day find himself a mate who could give him the big family he deserved. She supposed being an psuedo-uncle and big brother to the children of others was satisfying enough for him, but she still wanted more for him.

The shout for everyone to look up went over her head (lolololol). She only glanced overhead when she saw everyone else do the same. Her thoughts wandered to Liffey as she watched, remembering how much her little river had enjoyed stargazing. She wondered if her daughter still watched the stars, and if she was watching them now. The thought made her sad, and thus Towhee's touch was very timely. Fin glanced down at her tough, loving, way bad ass of a god daughter and smiled, planted a kiss on her crown, and leaned comfortably into her weight.
