Hushed Willows As I lie here

On the chill afternoon day, Tuft was finishing his daily round near Minnow's den. Honestly, one of the reasons why he was there was to be around Minnow. Her radiant smile just made Tuft beam with joy. He still had feelings for Reina, but she seemed to not want to be around him for now. 

He just finished his last marking of the territory, when he saw and heard Minnow startle awake. "She must have had a terrible nightmare!" Tuft thought to himself. He ran over to her den and made sure that she was okay. "Is everything okay Mrs. Minnow? I thought I heard you get startled." he said looking at her to make sure that she wasn't hurt.
