Turmeric barreled forward - only to skid to a sudden stop when Arlette stepped through the woods before him.
She looked surprised, like she didn’t quite recognize him. But did he recognize her. The same beauty in her rose red eyes, the same feeling they gave him of family, safety, warmth, love.
“Mom,” he choked through a growing smile when he heard her say his name. He’d forgotten what she sounded like - but now that she spoke, he wondered how he ever had.
A giant leap, a laugh. His paws hit the ground again and he sprang forward to meet her with a hug, and a dozen or two dozen or twelve dozen kisses, “MOM!! I finally found you!” his laughter spilled over, and he shook from nose to tail even as he buried himself against her, “I never gave up looking.”
