With him! Eljay waited breathlessly for her elaboration. Could it really be true? She was still crying and Eljay was at this point mostly still stifling sobs because of Wiffle crying. It was impossible not to cry, too. Then when Wiffle not only elaborated, but said the magic words he'd hoped to hear, it remained hard to keep the tears from coming. Eljay's tail wagged in a mixture of happiness and 'I can't believe this' as he looked at Wiffle's beautiful soft eyes.

The words that were on his tongue ever since he'd comforted Wiffle there by the lake were suddenly spoken to him instead. Eljay hadn't been the one to take the risk, like Wiffle had suggested when they spoke about ladies there. But in the end it all ended up well nonetheless. I love you too, Wiffle! Eljay shared, the words sounding a lot like he'd been holding them in for a long time. Ever since the lake! And maybe before that, when he didn't want Wiffle to leave so he followed her here. He might not have realised it right away -- not until Wiffle had suggested them being parents together and had seduced him, when it all fell into place.
