Secret Adventure

For as long as she can, Fern holds onto Rudy. Right now, there is nothing bad in world, nothing scary can get. At least, not while she is pressed into his chest. She hesitates to pull away, to end this beautiful moment. However, time marches onward and she steps back to tell him how amazing this place is. After she speaks, Rudy leans forward and gently licks away the tears that are falling. His words, cause Fern to chuckle lightly and she sneaks a lick to Rudy’s cheek as he moves his muzzle under her chin. The bump causes another chuckle to bubble out and she sniffles as he turns her head to look at the waterfall. This time his words have Fern laughing softly and she quickly wipes the remaining the tears from her eyes.

Without a word, the gray girl is shifting her body so she can sit at Rudy’s side. Her front leg reaches out, wrapping around his before her body leans heavily into his side. Inhaling deeply, she releases a happy sigh and sinks a little further into his side. Fern is content to sit and watch the falling water, letting the sounds, sights, and smells wash over them. Fern’s head slowly drifts over, until her head is resting against Rudy’s shoulder. After some more time passes, Fern speaks up, trying to voice low as she says, “This is beautiful Rudy. Thank you for bringing me here.” With that she lifts her head from his shoulder and reaches up to kiss his cheek.

Untangling her leg from his, Fern stands up and stretches, giving her coat a good shake in the process. With a smile, she looks over to Rudy and asks, “So, what all did you have planned for today?” Ocean-hues eyes dance with happiness as she looks at him, wondering what else this day has is in store for them.
