Fox's Glade returners

Cole gave her a firm nod, the faintest trace of a smile ghosting across his features. Winslet's words settled in his chest, a warmth he rarely let himself indulge in spreading through him. He didn't need to say much; she seemed to understand his quiet ways, and that made her choice all the more meaningful.

Not enough kindness in this world. he said simply, his deep voice carrying a quiet conviction. He turned, motioning with a tilt of his head for her to follow. The path to Bearclaw Valley wasn’t far, but it was significant—a step toward something better, something stable.

As they moved, Cole kept his stride steady, his presence solid and unwavering at her side. The mountains rose before them, a silhouette against the fading sunlight. Winslet’s scent mingled with the crisp mountain air, a reminder that he had led her here, that he was a part of this new chapter she was beginning.

And as they neared the valley, the conversation fell to a comfortable silence, the kind that didn’t need to be filled.
