Esi had promised to visit Edgar last week, and then promptly stood him up. Okay. It hadn't been on purpose, not at all! It was not even her intention to ditch the guy, either. Rayne had kept her home, mostly to just fret over her and give her a long talk about making her own life in the world and not to trust strangers. You'd think her being an adult would have made him back off, but it only prompted him to keep harassing her with new life lessons and ensuring she was prepared for everything in life. He even had begged her not to make him a grandfather too soon, which caused her to laugh in response. He was petrified of the world eating up his little boy and girl, and this meant too many talks that interrupted too many plans.
But now she was free! Carrying a bundle of berries in her mouth as an apology, the vixen spent no time making her way to Edgar's den and popping her head in, dropping the leaf bundle and clearing her throat.
"Eddy?" She called, dipping her head a bit to peek into the darkness.
