crying isn't secret, it's the art of how we grieve

I follow closely to Knox as I am unfamiliar with this forest while he's not. I don't understand, though, why he's in such a rush. The rain is in now way harsh, but cleansing. With each drop that hits my pelt I feel as if every bad feeling was taken away. It may be just a childish desire to feel so free and to believe that Father Earth actually has time enough to look out for me, but it is another light in the darkness that is mortality. My steps slow as we enter a grove and I linger behind Knox, allowing the rain to wash down my sides and thoroughly soak my long ivory tresses.

My emerald eyes fall back to Knox's large frame at the sound of his nicker and I see a dark body streak toward him. I smile at the greeting between the friends, though I hang back several steps to allow them to greet properly. Only when Knox introduces us do I finally step closer to look at the dog. "Hello, Manhattan." I say to the dog. "You are very beautiful."

"She is my light."

"You've had your light with you the whole time, Knox." I said, my gaze finding his once more. "You've never truly been alone." I gesture my head toward his companion. "Look in her eyes, see how much she loves you." I am happy for Knox, I really am, but seeing him with his companion brings back that old ache that I've had since my mom left with Tallis. "You're very lucky to have her."
