Hushed Willows As I lie here

“Yeah, it sure is…” Tuft replied. Thinking of how to say the next part, Tuft sat down on his haunches on the partially snow covered rock. “I’m sorry I’ve been kind of sporadic and crazy lately. I’ve just have been trying to find a way to say this, and it’s making me really nervous.” 

He looked over to her, and tried to force the words out of his muzzle. “I…I think that I like you. Phew! It’s done!” Tuft couldn’t hide the fact that he looked as if a million pounds was lifted off him. “Please, you don’t have to say anything, I just wanted you to know that. If you don’t feel the same way, that’s okay. You are just an amazing wolf, and even a great friendship would make me the happiest wolf that’s ever lived.”

He sat there looking at the most picturesque wolf he’d ever seen, in the most beautiful scenic area, just glad to have this moment.
