Shit, mom. I’m sorry. Fennec was definitely surprised by the news, the announcement of kids a little overshadowed by Maxim’s apparent disappearance. She huffed out a disbelieving breath, then added a little darkly, Not even I was jaded enough to call that one. That sucks.

She expected her relationships to go ass-up but she hadn’t expected her mom’s. They’d seemed so happy, but then again… she’d thought she was happy a number of times. Turns out sometimes wolves lie, especially to the ones they claim to love. Her mind turned to Penn, then shied away from it. Right.

I’m sure they’ll be fine, but I know that doesn’t help. It never mattered that much to me, no matter how often I convinced myself it was the only thing that counted. She remembered the days after Bronco disappeared, how rough it had been. Sometimes no answers was the worst fate to be handed. At least with Germanicus there had been closure right away.
