Swiftcurrent Creek Is this love?

Arlette looked at Arric. She was glad that he apologized but now she didn't know how to continue. "I don't know what to do next. I should probably talk to Cygnet that we are together, and just ask why they dislike you so much," she offered. Maybe it was better to do that without Arric there. Cygnet was old enough to be more on her own, such things had already happened. Cygnet was more on her own often not coming home.

"I know, I know," she assured him. "It would have helped with my own expectations," she explained. "I want to check in with Akavir as well. Just to see how he is," she commented. She probably should have done that earlier but decided to let him for a bit. She knew he was a private wolf.

"I'm sure," she spoke and then looked at him. "How... How were your travels?" She knew they were suppose to go together but... perhaps it had been good that she stayed.
