Stone Circle Is it really that much of a surprise?

Single post

Steph had arrived late, but in time to hear the news, and hid in the background a moment. It didn't surprise her, as she wasn't blind and knew the pair had been spending a lot of time together. This also wasn't Steph's first rodeo. Stark had come after she was born, and seeing as how Steph never felt she needed a father figure, it only mattered to her that her mother was happy. Greyback seemed steady, and Steph hoped he would stay that way. 

She still understood Arlette's hesitation, as her father had been there enough that she had bonded with him. She knew it would be hard for her little sister to see their mother love someone else. Mom doesn't live her life in fear, she said softly, approaching the group and sending a brief smile to their mother. It was one of the things she admired in Valette. She hoped it would quell the fear in her sister, as well. She reached out to offer Arlette comfort in the form of a nuzzle. Valette's life was her own, and Steph only needed to know that she was willing to take that risk in Greyback. She glanced to the newly mated pair, Congratulations, she told them both, her approval given, though she knew it was necessary.
