Really, it's fine! he insisted, smiling. You don't have to be sorry. I'm really grateful you were able to tell me all this. And at her offer, Timberlake grinned further. That would be amazing! Wow. . .thank you so much.

The strength and kindness he sensed radiating off this woman was intoxicating, and he stood silently beaming for a few moments before realizing the silence between them had grown somewhat awkward. He chuckled, shifting his paws. 

I suppose I'll let you get back to your day, Timberlake remarked. But it was so nice to meet you. . .and I'll definitely stop by on my way home. Hopefully with better luck in tow.

He left Easthollow disappointed on one front but joyous on another. Wolves around here had been so welcoming!
