Blacktail Deer Plateau Command me to be well

It was odd, the emotions that filled her as she waited.  Fear... a part of her hoped he would say no.  It had been difficult, last time, and there was no promise another chance wouldn't end her.  She was older, not built for motherhood, and her self destructive path last season had almost lost them all.  All but one.

She didn't deserve another.  But the draw was irresistable.  Remembering how it felt, how much she'd loved the feel of Reyes at her side, watching him grow.  It didn't matter how far they drifted now, he was her heart, and like a moth to a flame she felt the spring drawing her towards it.

He would be honored.  She smiled, and smoothly dipped her head in a small nod.  Then when the time comes, I'll find you, she said, giving him another appreciative look.

Easy for me.  All I need to do is wait and expect.  You're the one who has to meet them, she said, finding that for some reason his company sat easier with her now.  Old habits.  Unless you have expectations of your own?
