Dragoncrest Cliffs foxglove through the clearcut

The days passed and Njord did not return. Already dealing with depression, Meerkat now battled anxiety as well. She tried to push it aside and focus on the kids, refusing to let the situation impact them more than it already did. But every day was an ongoing struggle.

Seeking a distraction, she returned to the rendezvous site after catching sunrise at the beach. As always, she hoped to cross paths with one of her kids. But she kept an eye out for @Gunnar too, wondering how he was faring lately.

I know he may have left already but Meerkat doesn’t, so the tag is meant as a reference! Anyone’s welcome. :)
