Today, Hadley had taken a walk through the pathways, and eventually came to rest on one of the benches along the paths, enjoying the quiet serenity of the place. Asher was there with her, running free and letting off a lot of excess energy as he explored. If he got too far away though, Haddie would simply whistle once and he'd head back to her before exploring more. This ensured he was never too far from her.

Other than Asher, Hadley was alone. It was rare enough not seeing her with Rachel, but even more rare not to see her with anyone, and yet, this year it was increasingly appearing the norm. That didn't make the sight any less strange.

The sound of approaching footsteps caught her attention and Hadley gave the approaching lioness a warm smile that to the observant had a bit of melancholy hidden in it. "Hey, Hope. How's...things?" She hadn't seen the girl much last year, and Haddie did want to catch up with her, but also was weary about inviting those same questions on herself. In truth, her summer hadn't been that bad, no one died, and she wasn't kidnapped and held prisoner somewhere like Noelle had been, and yet, it had shaken so deeply that Hads was sure her foundation was cracked. It opened her eyes to just how truly weak she was...
Hope was deep in thought. She was remembering her summer. She had a pretty good summer. Of course there were bad parts. Really bad parts... she didn't want to think about that.. she shook her head as she came to a clearing by a beach.

She was so deep in thought that she hadn't seen Haddie. She almost tripped over her, but luckily Haddie had seen her first. Startled, Hope gasped. It was a very small gasp. But when she noticed Haddie a smile broke out on her face.

Hey haddie! I almost didn't see you there. Things are.. they are good. How are you?" She sat down beside Haddie. Spreading her legs. She could tell that something was bugging her but she didn't know Haddie that we'll so she didn't know if she should aask..
