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

Manhattan leaves Knox and comes to me and when she does I lower my head to nuzzle the pooch. She's sweet and it makes me wonder how Knox could feel so alone when he's had such a sweet companion with him. He truly is lucky in that aspect. She is his and he is hers. I laugh quietly as she weaves between my legs, urging me to lay and rest. Lying down does sound quite comfortable, I must admit. I've been on my hooves for such a long time. I've spent several nights in the forest alone, not once allowing myself to rest on the forest floor out of fear of being vulnerable. How silly that sounds now considering that I was thinking of letting the predators have me before my light came to me.

"I understand." I answer when he says he felt alone. At his beckoning I allow myself to drift closer then fold my legs under and lower myself to the ground. I am close enough to Knox to feel the warmth radiating off of him, but not touching. I am within reach, however, if he feels the need.

"Stay with us, Aylin."

There is not much else I need to hear aside from his invitation. "I would like that very much, Knox." I say as I reach for Manhattan when she comes close enough. I snuggle the dog against my chest, much like my mother used to do to my brother and I when we were young. Maybe one day I'll have a companion of my own to snuggle like this. Or even a child of my own.

"My mother would not be pleased with me if I left without spending more time with the son of her best friend." I respond. No, she would not be happy at all. I think she often hoped that they would both have children who would grow to have as wonderful a friendship as they did.
