Fox's Glade ocean eyes

the mountain man offered for her to mull it over. it was a gentlemanly thing to do; let her decide on her own time, at her own pace. winslet smiled then, truly soft and warm, the kind that made the corner of her eyes crinkle. "i will." she promised. 

change was scary, but cole seems to believe in her, and maybe that's all she needs. maybe that's all she's ever needed. 

her heart feels fuller than before. a fullness that she hadn't felt since kathhara, since before her ex-fiancé. it's strange and unfamiliar, but welcomed. her tail sways with the breeze, her steps just a little lighter. 

something softer...she lifted her head so sage eyes could meet amber. "you are a very good man, cole." she hummed, softly and earnest. heartfelt. and although their walk hadn't quite ended yet, she find herself yearning to see him again. "if i join, perhaps then i will teach you to fish, yes?" winnie mused softly as they continued their walk. 

she knew that soon, he'd have to return to his pack and his duties. it saddened her, but the thought of speaking to him again kept her spirits lifted.
