~ SASHA ~
Sasha and Kyelle passed through the village and into the forest without an issue. They were headed to an area in the forest Sasha had never visited. She pulled the fur wrap Kyelle had given her around her shoulders more tightly and rubbed her hands together, though she was more nervous than cold.
She'd hadn't been able to shake off the grief and insecurity completely, but she knew this was a day she wanted to remember and enjoy. And she wasn't going to do that if she only focused on what she didn't have. So when the time finally came to leave the house, Sasha reminded herself that Kyelle was suffering a much greater loss than her that day. After all, Sasha was getting Zev.
The afternoon was overcast, which made her nervous, but Kyelle lifted her nose to the wind and said no, the snow would not settle in for another day or two. She and Zev would get to their solitude before they had reason to worry.
