Ankyra Sound holy water

Chacal reassured her that Meerkat had family, home and value in Sapphique. She knew as much, though it was still nice to hear (more than once, even). She knew she could walk away from this conversation feeling better or worse about her prospects. It wasn’t just about the Tanzanite’s words of comfort but also about attitude and perspective.

Thank you, Chacal, Meerkat repeated.

It wouldn’t happen right away, though perhaps if she leaned into everything they’d discussed here, she could find steadier footing. She decided she would try, not just to honor Chacal’s sentiments but to make sure she was being the best possible wife and mother too. If she got too caught up looking to the future, she might miss out on the present and all the wonderful things she already had. She needed to live more in the moment.

This seems like a good place to fade, perhaps? :)
