Elixir had loved her new home, the coast had called to her like no other. A year or two ago she’d never have pictured herself loving the sea as she does now. There was something about the way the moon danced upon the waves as they crashed against the rocks that felt serene. The way the salty air tickles at her nose brings a smile to her face.

    Being here brought back so many memories of her family. The way Cortland would sit and listen to her and the way he looked at her. Oh, how she missed the sweet man. Elixir hoped that he was happy and that he had raised their kids to be just like him. With the upcoming season of puppies her heart ached with loneliness.

   The shadow was on her way back home as she spotted another. The woman reminded her of a soft snowflake perfectly white as it would fall from the sky. Elixir approached slowly, “Hello there” her voice traveled softly. Elixir stopped when she thought there was an appropriate distance between them.
