Heron Lake Plateau Like a bad penny

She nodded in detached agreement with his comment. It sort of made sense, actually, that Finley's anger might be mostly directed at Towhee and Raven just happened to be caught in the middle of it. But that still didn't take the sting out of it for her. That her aunt could so callously blow her off like she had was just as insulting as if it had all been directly squarely at her. Maybe Fin would get over it, or maybe she wouldn't. Raven didn't care. (Actually she did -- a lot -- and that was why she was so angry...but right now, she wasn't willing to admit it.)

Now that he was back and Towhee was no longer alpha around here, Raven wondered if the two would be able to work out their differences and make peace. Little did she know at that moment that his efforts would fail terribly in the days to come, but at least for now, she was hopeful.
