Bringing You Back

Esperanza could sense the tension that she had placed upon her mate. A slight hint of shame and sadness overcame her and she nudged under his chin. She felt horrible that she had hurt him in some way and lied down, placing her head upon her forepaws and closed her eyes, soon reopening them when she saw what he had shown her and she smiled.

"This sure is beautiful," she told him as she placed her right front paw on top of one of his to show reassurance and in some way of an apology. She could hear the sounds of other animals that caught her attention. The sounds of owls making nests inside a tree, and many other animals were sleeping for the night and she gave a slight yawn of her own.

She may have been five, but her age was slightly starting to show as a few white hairs had made their presence known, she knew that one of these days she would no longer be there for Chrono, and with a sigh, she placed her head on her paws once more and watched the world around her.
