Alone, Nadia Green sits in the shadows of the trees. The almost full moon shines overhead and she’s starting to shake. She’s not sure if it’s nerves or the temperature dropping on the mountain.
She knows that her makeshift family is going to be worried sick about her, but she had to escape. It was only a matter of time before he came looking for her. She holds her legs close to her in hopes that it will keep her warm. As she looks to the right, she notices a pair of yellow eyes staring her down. Her heart begins to race and her spine begins to stiffen. The yellow eyes approach and she instantly becomes relaxed. The animal, a coyote, walks to her and sits beside her to keep her warm until help arrives. She nuzzles up to the coyote and whispers, “Andrew, I love you.” The coyote looks up with his moonlit golden eyes as if to say, ‘I love you, too.’
