ONLY DEATH AND LOVE CHANGE ALL THINGS

Patience had always been one of Claire’s strong suits.

Never once had she minded waiting on different things for she found that often it gave her time to relax, get properly nervous or even think about what she was going to say or re-act to what might be said. Now although this played if her favor – others found it selfish which in turn made her out to be sort of a black sheep when it came to socialization.
Being this particular definitely made her shy away from Dexter and his herd

In fact Claire hadn’t made any friends within the herd and so now being home with her parents Claire knew that she probably would never see or speak to any of the mares or even dex if he ever decided to return. The reality of it all hit the pale mare about half way during her swim and wondered briefly before the ocean tried to eat her if something was mentally wrong with her and if she’d be doomed to be alone.

Her mother’s sigh of happiness broke Claire from her thoughts

Turning her head Claire smiled softly at Sylvia who looked at her briefly before turning her gaze back out across the ridge. Sylvia was extremely anxious for Midas to come and when she finally saw his golden coat come into view her anxiety only got worse. However dispite Sylvia’s internal chaos of nonsense Midas was pleasantly surprised to see his daughter and it calmed the pearl girls nerves. His whiskers tickled her own when he touched her and Sylvia made eye contact. She could get lost staring at Midas being completely infatuated by the fact that he was still here and her memory of what happened just weeks ago wasn’t all in her head.

Midas was here to stay and Sylvia had nothing to worry about anymore

Midas’s words were bright and excited making Claire feel at home. When her father wrapped her in a hug Claire leaned into him briefly before looking at him, searching every inch of his face.”I got mom’s looks but your emotions” pausing Claire wondered if her father would catch it. Glancing at her mother who stared at her and lifted her head to egg her daughter on Claire breathed ”dad I’ve come to you guys today because where I was staying turned into chaos. Dexter left everyone without a reason or hint as to where he was going or why and instead of staying with a stranger who took over I came here”

Claire paused again wondering how this would hit knowing her father sort of did the same thing

She also wondered if telling him he had a granddaughter in the lagoon was a good idea and decided to wait. Claire wanted to see what he was going to say to her first chapter of news for now.
