That dark Summer last year seemed so long ago now. Novella certainly tried her hardest not to think about it though there were times that she feared she might suddenly slip back into that horrible place once again. Fortunately there had not been any relapse at all, that fact definitely clear with the bright and cheery mood she demonstrated now in her playful antics with her husband. He would willingly participate in her new game, launching into action and she tore off through the lands to avoid being caught quite so easily. "Too slow!" Novella taunted as she continued to run. She had no real destination in mind, though she wouldn't run in a straight line, occasionally altering her direction a little to make the chase all that more difficult for Frith.
Every now and then she'd attempt a glance over her shoulder as well to see how close he was, though one of these occasions of course would lead to her downfall. One paw stumbled over a dip in the ground and though she fought to regain her balance, it seemed that Frith's wish was ever closer to becoming reality now as she tumbled to the ground, rolling over until her stomach was once more upon the ground. She was unharmed though and attempted to push herself back to her feet despite being certain that Frith would have caught p with her.
