After spending so long running, settling down felt a little bit too much like procrastination. The kind that looms, promising consequences, and Marina found there was no relief from this feeling because there was no logic in it. Her past was far behind her now — but still, she hadn't planned to settle for a long time yet. It felt too soon.
She left her children with a babysitter and went to the outskirts of Moontide's claim. Briefly, Marina wondered what her life would be like now if she'd never found Sialuk. Would she still be running? But weeks had gone by, and she no longer worried about the stability of her home as she once had. She let those thoughts slip away as she continued her informal patrol of the borders, secure in the knowledge that she wouldn't need to run again.
