At Leisure Lake the sun is always shining and only a few stray clouds roam the open sky; paradise is the one word that really describes it. This beautiful lake is clean and refreshing, the very best place to swim and fish. Pups are known to play here while older wolves watch at the side, engaged in their own activities.

When I glance his way, I swear it looks like Raylen was just looking at me. By the time I look over though, he's only got one ear tuned into my movements, his eyes straight ahead looking over the water. It's like a shy game of catch me staring and immediately heat rushes to my cheeks. My lips tug toward a smirk even as I sit up, my weight shifting that much closer to him, not close enough to touch but close enough to feel the heat coming off of his skin. I ache to move closer but I hold myself back with every fiber in my being, not wanting to push him away by being too forward. Finally he looks at me and I'm able to drown in those bright blue eyes. He smiles and it's the most beautiful thing, even though he looks hesitant and not fully comfortable. He answers me with a shrug and I tilt my head, ears fully pricked to let him know I'm listening. When he licks his lips, I can't help but watch the movement as if mesmerized but then guilt flashes in his eyes and I feel my own eyes soften in concern. I never like seeing that expression on his face. It's too familiar for him. I want him to be happy again. I can understand why I haven't seen him in so long. It makes sense that he would want to go out and spend some time alone, probably thinking. I'll never know if he was thinking about his past or his future though. I'll never know if he spent his time drowning in the could have beens or if he's moved on since then to the what can bes. My nightmares are almost fully gone now. I've banished them from my thoughts as much as possible. I've accepted the fates of Hunter and Phonix, that I'm never going to see them again and that's okay because wherever they are, they've found peace. I have to believe that. I can only hope he's found peace with his memories of Soul as well. Raylen looks a little different, a little more his old self. I see sparks of that old confidence beaming through his golden coat and it warms me inside. He apologizes and I smile. Now I can let that go and never make him have to apologize again. I don't want to keep bringing up how he has a thing for leaving. I want to focus on the times when he's here, when he's next to me. He tells me that he missed me too and I feel my heart floating in my chest, light as air. He starts another sentence and then stops, his expression changing to something happier, something less serious. I tilt my head, listening to his many questions. My lips curl back, offering him the flash of a fang in a playful grin as I laugh lightly under my breath. Then you may have found the wrong wolf for that. Live vicariously, me? I don't think so. I'm doing great. I'm getting involved in the pack again. Tamlin put me in charge of my own hunting party and we managed to take down a wild sow. It was amazing. I only got scraped. No lucky or unlucky guy. No one in the pack makes me feel like that. I let it go there, keeping it open because it's true that no one in Bright Moon makes me feel this way. Only one wolf does now but I don't want to ruin what we have now by telling him. I can't lose Raylen. I don't know what I'd do if I ever did. He wants to focus on the good in life and that's okay. I don't blame him. Last time our conversation got depressed and awkward, too much focus on the past and the negatives. I don't want all of our conversations to be that way. I want to see him happy. Now my turn for interrogating. How are you doing? Any lucky girls? I keep that plural because I know what a player you can be. I offer him a playful grin, my golden eyes beaming. You hunt solo now I presume. Anything big to report or just the occasional squirrel or rabbit? Any wild tales? I'm sure you've have many adventures.
