Swiftcurrent Creek gunning out of this place in a bullet's embrace

continued from this thread

Thankfully, it hadn't taken her very long to find @Kavik. She'd been bright eyed and breathless when she found him, more lively than she's been in awhile — it must have been obvious immediately that something had happened. Not that she'd kept him in the dark for long. Her explanation had been a rushed jumble as she'd led him to her lover, a brief, painfully inadequate overview: her best friend, the love of her life who she'd thought dead, has returned to her. Her pulse still races with the exhilaration of it as they near the place where she'd left @Rosalie at the borders, though now she feels a twinge of nerves as well. She glances to her mate a little anxiously, offering what she hopes is a reassuring smile. She hasn't explicitly covered what all this means, exactly — not yet — but she does not want him to think things will be different between them now. She truly doubts Rosalie's presence will affect their partnership at all; after all, it is one born purely of necessity.
