"Yeah" she says, so quietly Kisha could barely hear her. IceFire finds herself gazing at Clyde again. now i know his name she thinks, and now its harder than ever. what is this, the twisted fate that is my life? why is it my fate to lose what i love, or lose every chance. she stands stone-still, gazing at Clyde as she thinks.About to leave the bank, IceFire and Kisha turn to see clyde limping back to the river, and dragging out a pup. IceFire's heart sank.
"You've got it bad for him" kisha says, this time not laughing.
