Down from the clouds

The peace that held tightly to this place that hung in their memories would grasp at Frith. He hoped desperately that it might hold onto Novella too and soothe the heartache that lingered within her. He didn't know why or how she had suddenly been thrust down this path but he was ready to have her back to him at full capacity. She had a family that needed her, he needed her. Not that he was going to do anything close to hurting her while she was down. He needed her to get better on her own. He knew any kind of forcing would only lead to regression, and after their time here he couldn't see her do that.

She seemed to relax as he began to humm quietly, her form would lean into him as she closed her eyes. He didn't know what she was thinking but he could see the focus on her features. He'd been humming this song since early pup hood, and he had no doubt he would continue the habit well into his later years. Whenever he needed a quiet moment (here in this peaceful garden, when the pups just would not go down for a nap, when he was intimate with Novella) It was always there to calm him. Hopefully it would help his other half as well. Though again, he didn't expect her depression to be any kind of quick fix. Her recovery would still take time, but knowing how much progress could be made kept him going.
