Cut my losses

Being with Corvus helped to steady her and calm her nerves and the rush of crazy emotions that warred in her belly. She knew he called her for a reason but her own thoughts kept her from truly understanding the turmoil beneath Corvus’ chocolate brown fur. He was slow to react, not expecting so much affection, but he did return her embrace. She felt the warmth of him spread through her as he held her tight and they lingered quietly in each other’s presence. His deep voice rumbled through her and soothed her deeply as she sighed into his soft fur.

”Don’t be sorry,” she tried to keep the edge out of her voice but the truth was that she felt she was about to cry. As long as she didn’t look into his eyes. ”You can tell me anything, Corvus.” The words were a whisper as she worked hard to hold back until the right moment with him. If he could talk to her surely she would be able to tell him? Twig took a deep breath and squeezed him a little tighter. She didn't quite have the guts to say I've something to tell you as well.
