Northstar Vale I need to spin my wheels

Towhee's thoughts and opinion meant a lot, maybe even more than she realized. Fennec felt a pretty significant amount of relief when her mom cracked a joke, knowing acceptance when she heard it. She smiled and even let out a quick laugh. It really does. She couldn't picture how he'd react to it but was fully on board. He could use a joke or two to lighten up a little of the leadership load, she thought, even just from the little she'd been around him.

I didn't think I'd ever do this again. I thought he was crazy at first. But I asked why things would be different with him and he actually answered. We talked things out. Fennec was still trying to wrap her head around how it felt to just be so openly on the same page. I know he's still in love with her. He basically told me as much. But right now, however long it lasts, it's nice not being alone.
