Swiftcurrent Creek [M]Why don't you just go home

Arric wasn't sure how Arlette liked his compliments or his offhand way of speaking, but she hadn't growled him. So he deduced she didn't mind.

Arric had not planned to vent as he had. But once he started he couldn't stop. The words flowed like water and the soul crushing guilt that he felt bad at all. It was not their fault they acted the way they did or felt the way they did.

A,deep shudder rockwd his body when she hugged him and he closed eyes fast. His large head landed qtop her shoulders and he took a shaky breath and another until he could breathe normally.


Letting it out is both cathartic and sucky. he quipped, but without the usual bite of humor.

Thank you.

He could have moved but didn't yet.
