Hideaway Strath Did you think that money was heaven sent?

LOL will it not let you delete the code?

Effie's smile returned, and she dipped her head in gratitude towards the grove leader. It seemed Towhee held a lot of trust for Rye, and even knowing him for the small amount of time that she had, she wasn't really surprised; it made her eager to know more about him.

The next question was valid. Why would they want to allow her into their home if she was just going to leave to rejoin her family? But there was nothing to worry about. She had returned to look for them mostly to let them know she was still alive, but she was fairly certain that they would not agree with the way she chose to live her life now, so even if she wanted to go back to them, they probably wouldn't let her. She didn't want to live that life anymore, though. So she answered with complete certainty: No. Once I'm a part of this pack, I have no intention of leaving. She felt like she should probably explain why, but it wasn't something she really wanted to talk about with someone she didn't know very well. It was a sensitive subject, one she still felt pretty confused about, and she didn't think it was an appropriate time to discuss it.
