Moonspear a still heart

It sounded like a smashing success. Meerkat was thrilled to hear it, even if she felt a little bit of “FOMO.” She really hadn’t minding looking after the girls. They’d kept very busy! She would accompany Njord some other time, preferably when he wanted to visit somewhere that wasn’t along the coast.

She took a step back to give him room to shrug a bundle off his shoulder. How had she not noticed that until now?! Meerkat watched as Njord began to unwrap it, then glanced around for Orca and Seal to make sure they were paying attention.

Look, girls, da brought us some souvenirs, she said, then looked up and caught his eye while he busied over the package. We have news too. My mom, dad and her kids are staying nearby. We’ve had such a wonderful time, meeting and playing with them, haven’t we, girls? I’d love for you and Ray to meet them at some point too.
