Redsand Canyon That’s where I’m headed

The shadow listened to her speak. He was forced to fight the waves of envy that he felt. Crowfeather knew that Aquene deserved the love she had been given by her husband. He would never have wished for another to find themselves longing for someone who would not return those feelings. The healer’s husband was a good man, and she believed that he would make a good father to their children.

The drugs she had given him were working well. His head was light, and his eyelids fluttered shut as he listened to her speak. When she had finished talking about her husband, she leaned toward the dark figure and asked him what was wrong.

I love him… he whispered softly. I love him… I love him so- so much.

A heavy breath fell from Crowfeather’s lips. His tongue was thick and heavy in his mouth. The shadow did not know what he said.

But he- he loves her.
