Goodbyes That Should Not Have Been [AW]

She maintained a soft smile, though she could sense the sadness in the other woman. “We have been well, travelling and seeing the continent.” She explained with a softer demeanor. “As safe as any wolf can be on their own, still trying to figure out where my paws should take me next, what I should do, if I, we, should settle down now.

“Is something wrong?” She couldn’t help but ask, knowing that the other woman while warm and welcoming as she always remembered had a somber attitude to her that made her think something might have happened.
