Stone Circle Momma is there for you

Steph sighed, knowing this was coming. Valette wouldn't be a mother if she didn't scold Steph for doing something wrong. Sure, Steph had learned her lesson the hard way, but she expected Mom to bring it all the way home. They came to Stone Circle, she pointed out. I didn't go to them. Still, she hadn't exactly avoided them, either. I thought I'd chase and nip at them, like the pack did in the hunt, and they would just run off, she admitted. She hadn't expected one to turn on her so angrily. If they had just ran, Steph wouldn't have followed. 

Her ears flattened when Valette mentioned Murdock. She wondered if he regretted saving her. He hasn't even come by to see me, she said softly. She expected that he would, they would make up, and everything would be fine. That still hadn't happened. With her broken rib and injuries, Steph was in no position to get up and go to him to thank him.
