"Thanks for this, Uncle Carl." Raina pulled him in for one last hug and then looked into his eyes. "I'm sorry you had to go through that alone. I had no idea."
He nodded, smiling. "Hey... don't let what you heard change your opinion about your Aunt Trudy. She truly was a wonderful woman."
Raina smiled, tears appearing in her eyes. "Yes, she was... and you are a wonderful man." She kissed his cheek. "I'll see you later. Micah will call us if you need us."
Carl nodded. "Thanks. You be safe out there. Hear?"
Raina nodded, smiling.
Then Carl stepped in close. "And don't worry. Your secret is safe with me." Of course, I knew he was talking about Michelle.
"Thanks, Uncle Carl," she said, and then headed out the door.
Dakota and I said our goodbyes and then followed Raina.
Outside, Noah was waiting on us. "So, what's the plan?"
"The plan is, brother, that we will all be in the woods hunting this thing tonight," Dakota teased. "So, don't shoot any wolves while you're working."
