But really, I'm doing okay now. That's why I came to see you. I'm finally better enough to make the trip, and I missed you, she admitted, the last few words coming out softer than the rest.

Whatever it was, he didn't need to shoulder it alone. She knew he had his mate now for these things, but his sister could surely help relieve whatever burden he was carrying too, right? Only if he would confide in her.
