Saying Goodbye, Going Away

Indigo stands from his spot in the shade and makes his way to the small healer. Head tilts up to look at him, sadness plain in her eyes as he approaches. When he engulfs her in hug, Meadow buries her face in his fur. This is tough and even more difficult than she had expected. Tears sting her eyes and threaten to spill into his purple fur but she fights the urge. For the moment, she just enjoys the warmth of the hug and comfort that Indy offers her.

With a deep breath, she sinks a little further into the embrace and turns her head so she can speak without being muffled. She says, “Indy, I have something important to tell you. There are changes coming and I… want you to know how much I love you.” The words are hard for her to say and it is fight just to speak them. With a sigh, Meadow breaks the contact and steps back, offering him a sad smile.

After a moment, she musters up enough courage to say, “Indigo, my sister is starting a new pack and I am going with her.” Heart breaks a little at the thought of walking out of his garden and perhaps never coming back. Holding her head high, trying to appear brave and strong, Meadow feels her knees shaking, her legs wobble and tears fill her eyes. This part hurts but the future is bright and full of possibilities.
