love will find a way

Delicate paws toiled almost aimlessly as she tried to occupy herself while she waited for Corvus to return. A few days was as accurate an estimate as she had been given, and every minute seemed to crawl by. Especially when she had such joyful and exciting news to share with him. Part of her wished that they could have done this so long ago, but even now in their twilight years she was grateful that their dream was finally coming true.

There was a little smile that decorated her pale muzzle that would not be wiped away, though she wasn’t quite glowing yet it surely felt like she was. Then all at once that small knowing grin turned into a huge smile as Corvus’ voice reached her fawn tipped ears. "Corvus!” Twig responded in surprise and wasted no time in greeting him at the door, wrapping her thin arms around his neck and burying her features into his fur. "I missed you so much.” She squeezed her eyes shut and she squeezed him in her embrace, silent for a moment as she simply reveled in having him back home.

"How was your trip?” She asked curiously as she reluctantly pulled away from him enough that her violet gaze could meet his verdant green. Suddenly nervous about revealing the secret she had for him.
