Hushed Willows Something’s missing

They made a cute little trio, but Minnow's absence was felt acutely and by all. Lily watched mother and children from the shadows for a moment, letting the bittersweetness of the situation wash over her, before emerging, face set in a smile. @Ziggy and @Lana were with her, but Cam was elsewhere, in his own little world. She really did wish he wouldn't spend so much time alone. . .but what could you do?

Hallo, darlings, Lily greeted, tail wagging as she approached Aliac and gave the new mother a kind touch of her muzzle to the other's cheek. How are you holding up? she asked a little quieter, pulling back to give her sister-by-marriage a benevolent expression. Of all that missed Minnow, Aliac probably missed her little girl the most.

God, Sunny, bring her home! she thought fervently, for the thousandth time that week.
