Stone Circle Got everything I wanted and lost it

Steph felt the guilt in her begin to rise up to the surface. She had left once, too, what was the difference with Kiran? Yes, Steph was blood, but Easthollow had always prided itself on being family regardless. Steph didn't think there would be any problem with allowing Kiran back in. 

But, as Valette looked to her for support, Steph knew she couldn't let her down. But, she also didn't want to turn Kiran away. So, she tried to compromise. Looking from Kiran to Valette, she offered up a solution. I could look after Kiran, make sure that she's pulling her weight and helping with the pack. It could be a time of trial until she proves she's going to stay and help, she explained, hoping the two would agree.
