Star really doesnt want to go back in, but she doesnt know how to say what she wants or even if she should be thinking such things. She gives Wolf a hug, Nice to meet you. I hope I see you again... and takes the hand Erik offers.
Erik leads her over to the table where his sister and the rest of the group is sitting. Raina sees the clasped hands and smiles, I wonder if she said anything to him...
Alise turns in her chair, “Star!, come sit with me. Have Erik pull up a chair...”
Star and Alise share a chair and Erik pulls one up next to them. Star gives Alise a hug and gently runs her hand over Alise's swollen belly, her way of saying hello to the babies. Her hand feels a solid little lump and she guides Alise's hand over the spot.
Alise looks at Star, “What is it?”
Star smiles, almost giggles, and points to her own elbow. Taps the spot on Alise's tummy and points to her elbow again.
Smiling Alise asks, “Are you sure? It could be a knee...”
Star shakes her head and points to her elbow. She watches as Rowan joins the group and then Nick says he has something to tell them. The group falls silent waiting for him to speak....
