i'm Comin' Home

Twig buried her features into Beat’s fur once more as he squeezed her tight. Eventually he pulled away and twig looked up into his tired eyes as he spoke to her. He’d only just returned and he needed to rest and build his body condition back to where it should be. She looked him up and down and sighed contentedly, he was back, he was safe, and he was embracing life. Beat gave Twig hope for the future. Before she answered him she reached forward and hugged him again. Still hardly believing he was back here with her.

”We have plenty of time, first I want to get you settled. Will you share my den so I can look after you for a while?” She asked instead of telling him. If he wanted his own space she couldn’t deny him. ”I’ll tell you everything you want to know over a meal.” She stood back and took him in once more, tears still stinging her eyes but this time with joy.
