The sun was sitting low in the sky, glaring an orange hue that filtered through the scattering of trees covering the horizon. It had been a long time since Charlie had done a patrol, but the familiarity of the sight burned a nostalgia in her chest that drew and easy smile across her lips. She had arrived at the meet point with ten minutes to spare, plenty of time to run through some stretches and prepare herself for the coming hours. A patrol wasn’t hard work, but it was long and constant, whether in human or wolf form, though having a good partner helped ease the time passing.
Dex had signed them up for the late patrol shift that day. It was an old habit of theirs to spend their patrol duty together and often spent the time catching up with her friend or discussing training strategies.
