Hopeflight's POV

Hopeflight sat alone at the fresh kill pile, eating. Willowtail came up behind Hopeflight, and sat down next to her.

"Green-leaf has been nice to us." He said, dipping his head at the fish in her paws. "Oh, yes." She said, giving herself a quick grooming before she looked back up into his emerald eyes.

"The river is filled with fish." She quickly finished her fish, and asked "Well, the clan doesn't really need it, but do you want to go hunting?"

The sun was barely out but Hopeflight's beautiful white pelt was visible from almost everywhere in camp. Hopeflight saw his green gaze stare at her for what seemed like forever, and then he finally responded "Or we could just go on a dawn walk, since we don't need fresh kill."

Hopeflight felt her mind spinning with thoughts, but managed to say "That sounds wonderful." Walking with Willowtail, made her feel like she was the most important cat in the forest. Often she felt her own white pelt brush against his coarse, brown fur. While nervously walking, she accidentally tripped on a birch root.

"Hopeflight!" Willowtail looked at her concerned Hopeflight, feeling more embarrassed as ever got up and shook off.

"I'm fine, just tripped. Don't worry." Hopeflight said

"Maybe we should go back to camp..."

"No, I'm fine. Trust me." Hopeflight quickly responded, giving Willowtail a look of sheer embarrassment.

"Alright, whatever you say..." He said, and then quick as a blink of an eye, he gave Hopeflight a lick on the tail. For Hopeflight, the lick lasted forever. She opened her jaws to respond, but before she could do anything Willowtail reached out, and gave her a lick on her muzzle.

"Hopeflight, I know were both young warriors, but I couldn't think of another she-cat I'd rather have my mate, and the mother of my kits. Please Hopeflight, be my mate. I love you from here to starcl-

"Shut up." Hopeflight said as she nuzzled him, no longer shy.
