Behind the Hedgerow

People in Pine Hall didn’t know that Drew Hunter, local lawyer, was actually Daroo-fen Clearsong, an Amaranthine from the wolf clans. Coop had overheard enough to know that Daroo wasn’t planning to announce the truth.

After sending Rose off to find Dad, Daroo shouldered one of the mesh bags.

Coop hefted the other but didn’t move toward the back yard. “Hey, Daroo? What are we?”

“What am I to you? What’re you to me?”
