She laughed, prancing to the side and speeding up, trying to match him move for move. For that one, sweet, beautiful moment it was as it used to be; for that one moment, she lost herself again in that delicious love they had once shared.
It was still there; it was still real. Different now, changed through what they'd gone through, but still there. He was, under all of it, still her Spin. Still the one she needed. How had she ever believed she could settle for someone else, to replace this need for companionship with another? It wasn't a need for a companion, a need for future; it was a need for him.
Then they burst through the treeline and, without thinking, she followed; just trotted right out on their heels. And she saw them; her foals, so long since she'd seen them last, and the strange stallion - the one that had used her daughter. She felt an ear flick back, but gave no other indication. Sapphy was grown now; beyond her guidance. If her daughter was comfortable with it, if he was a decent father, then she couldn't say a word.
And Stice; the one to announce their arrival. She hardly remembered when she'd seen them, when she'd still been shattered; if anything, Frolic felt guilty for that. They'd found her, they'd known her, but she'd hardly been able to string a full thought together.
Still, she kept her head high; stepped closer to Spin. That one motion said so much. Her eyes stayed on the others, on her foals that were now grown; for all indication she seemed to be ignoring the stranger. But it was Spin that she moved towards, Spin that she needed to be close to, Spin that she knew was still hers.
Belly's home, she said, And so is Mama.
