It almost felt good to take flight, a little dip of the toes back into the acid waters of old habits. She would find her way back to Sunbeam Lair eventually, obligated as she was. For now Reverie slipped away from her guards, feeling girlish and daring and hysterical in her grief. She ran the mountainside; she cut the burdens free from her shoulders and let them fall into the wind.

He should have been here.

He should be here.

Was that why she'd sought solace in the arms of another man? A loose rock caught her paw and sent her stumbling, slowing to a halt. Reverie realized all at once that it was dark. Back to reality — and the weight of it struck the air from her lungs.

She turned the rock beneath a soft pink pad, pressing it harder into the earth until crimson welled from beneath her paw. She hardly realized what she was doing. It seemed she never did. Her thoughts turned back to Dusty Rose, darkening, twisting until her paw slipped on all the blood and the rock tore a raw red path up her foreleg; a mirror of the scar already there from nearly a year prior. Reverie lifted her paw gingerly, startled but not quite shocked by herself. I guess I'll tell them I fell, she thought numbly, studying the wound as it dripped blood in steady protest.
