Fox's Glade i had held it a world away

It was nice to be met with a smile like that. Although she had thought about canceling their trip into the glade, it was difficult to pass up on the company of someone like Mona. There was a good portion of her that believed she didn't really deserve to have fun. She had other things that should have been occupying her time. Somehow, she convinced herself that she could search for signs of Lucas in the glade.

“Yeah, I guess you're right,” she agreed with a small nod.

If the young Redleaf could have heard the doubts that flashed through Mona's mind, she would have snapped at her with a razor sharp tongue. Of all the pack mates that Piper shared, the Mayfair girl was easily her favorite. There was something to be said for a person who could draw in the fiery child and calm her the way that Mona did. She was an astounding creature.

“How have you been?” Piper inquired somewhat awkwardly, knowing that small talk was not her forte.
