10 years later..
Catrina Donner shifted again in her seat, restless. Her mother looked over at her and smiled. " You really are biting your tongue."
She shot her mother a suspicious look. "What?"
"I mean I haven't heard one 'are we there yet' for the last hour and a half."
Cat attempted to glare at her for a minute and then her flash of bad temper vanished in face of the impish humour on her Mom's face.
"It's just", she gestured vaguely, settling down to fidget with her seatbelt, "so huge, you know? I've been seeing this place in my dreams for years, I know it, but I've never been there, and now we're actually going. And I'll finally get to see Grandpa's house, and your school, and Grandma's.. and..stuff." Her voice trailed off as she caught sight of her Mother's face in her peripheral vision. The small frown lines that were only apparent when her Mom was really stressed were there, and her hand grasped the steering wheel a little too tightly. It was at times like this she really wished she already had her Wolven sense of smell. Her Grandpa had assured her it was coming but sometimes 15 years seemed an awful long time to wait for something so useful. She reached out to touch her mother's leg.
"It'll be okay, Mom, it really will. Me and you against the world - remember? Just the two Musketeers." Her Mom absently clasped her hand in response and straightened visibly.
"You're right - it will be fine. None of them can hurt us unless we let them." But her knuckles didn't relax and quietly their mental link echoed with her determined thought.and I'll kill them if they try.
As daughter glanced at mother in concern neither of them noticed the sign flash by - Welcome to Wolf Lake - come back soon.
