Carletta was lying near the den so it was only natural that Leo had been able to find her easily enough. The fall of both Fiori and their neighboring pack of Dragoste troubled her… but what troubled her a touch more was the fact that Alfred still hadn’t returned.

Car was sure she just felt badly that Leo’s children were all gone… and she related to that feeling of an empty nest even though Phoenix and Ash hadn’t been her own.

Her words were teasing, however, a light dancing in her blue eyes. The femme rose from her resting position to a sitting one, looking her beloved in the eyes. Whatever down thoughts she’d been having before were scattering; how could one remain down when they were with their love?
