Swiftcurrent Creek sparking up my heart

He released a sigh at her words – recalling her concerns of her own leading abilities. Yet she had challenged Fox – had taken the rank from her. It was different somehow, yes.. but he also recalled when Bazi had begged him to take leadership above her. Would she still have run if he had said yes?

Then, she spoke again, drawing his eyes to sharply look upon her pretty features. She had panicked. It didn’t make him feel better – and how terribly he wanted to simply tell her it was okay.. that it felt better to forgive and forget than to hold on to the pain. But he couldn’t – because he no longer trusted her. He did not know where that put them any longer.

“Did you find what you were looking for?” It was hardly a simple question – but it was something he needed to know. When things got tough.. and they surely were about to erupt in Swiftcurrent Creek once more.. would she simply run away again?
