Stone Circle there's always just a little more left

It was not raising them she was currently concerned about, but as soon as Ethan brought it up, she found a new reason to dread the prospect. She'd have to think very carefully about this once she had a minute alone!

For the moment, she was relieved to be let off the hook, so to speak. Her father went on to said that he maybe would bring another litter into the world, which was a much more exciting prospect than having to do it herself.

"I'm sure there's someone out there," Mya assured him, but truthfully, she was beginning to wonder herself. Her situation had always seemed perfectly normal to her, but obviously, she'd never known anything else. She didn't understand how anyone could not like someone as kind and loving as Ethan, but she was starting to see that he was something approaching a rarity, at least in this part of the wilds.

But they'd find him someone. If anyone deserved to be happy, it was her dad.

"I'd help you with the new puppies," she vowed, hoping he wouldn't call her out on this apparent dichotomy. "They will be safe and loved, no matter what."
