Lost Creek Hollow Redemption

Gannet did not scold her, neither did he try to convince her otherwise. He had done the same thing in the past and it had ended well for him. She - on the other hand - felt utterly lost and was not sure, if things would change for her the least, if she set out in the world. Happiness was not an end-goal for her. What it was - she did not know. 

"Thank you," she said quietly, when he reassured that he would still be her friend, even if she did not belong to the group. Would Terance see things the same way? Should she even tell him, should she destroy his happiness of the new family members, new life? Sarah admitted to herself that she was ashamed and feared to do it. She did not want to see resentment and disappointment in the eyes, where there had been love and affection. There was no proper way she could explain, why should she leave now of all times (the worst choice of time, in fact).

"I sometimes wonder..." she paused, regarding Gannet thoughtfully, pondering, whether she could reveal another dark secret of hers. "... I wish to end things. It gets so much and so hard at times, I just want to stop. Living is difficult," her voice faded and she was looking in the distance again.
