Sun Mote Copse Make it a point to tell me when you get to the end

At least the stone was a good motivation to press on towards the den and get her there. Eljay was relieved when they reached it. The copse was home, but the den was especially home. Eljay nosed Wiffle's cheek and then left the den for a short moment to retrieve the stone that he had hidden closeby. He removed some old leaves from a nook by the tree where he found the sparkling stone. It was beautiful, just like Wiffle.

He picked it up carefully and as he entered the den again, put it down in front of Wiffle. Mommy said you brought this when you came to visit me after I was born. Do you remember? It was a long time ago, so Eljay wouldn't be surprised if she didn't. Maybe seeing it again might spark her memory.
