Kate felt a warmth from him she embraced him and pressed her lips to his. He had accepted his new life. It was easier with Brevine there. She loved him and was so sweet to pick up on Horen's moods. They were both family. "This will be the best Winterfest ever. I am so happy I have you both to share it." Kate reached for Brevine's paw and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Stay and I will get some more cider. You will both enjoy the town. It will be all dressed up for Winterfest and we will see performers, a puppet show, and have lunch. If you want we can stay for the lighting of the town tree and fireworks. I will keep you away from crowds. Would you like to go in the sled or carriage?"
