Flip-Flop

"Still, nobody speaks. Nobody offers commiseration or sympathy. Which, looking at Martina, I realize she doesn’t expect, want, or need. She’s in her own head, drowning in a pool of grief that time still hasn’t drained." “Then,” Martina continues, “Charlotte came to me about her illness. About what she wanted to do with her estate when the cancer took her.” She inhales a shaky breath, but her tone takes a hard edge. “And that’s when I knew exactly what I had to do.” What exactly did Martina really do? She is still caring for the panthers and knows the other wolves are in their cement dome. What does Burke really know about Mica's past, the tribes politics, Martina, and maybe even "long-ears"? He always seems to be involved in the center of things, What is lore and what is fact? Martina's true motives seam as blurry as the current weather. The tension in this chapter was heart-pounding to me. @Libby Drew has created a great mystery!

What a beautiful tribute to Carlos from @Defiance19!

I believe your many stories have inspired many people into actions of giving and caring, to help others! It has done this for me. I also share a few of donations with your own picks. I think The Castaway Hotel inspired many readers also!
