Terrace Park was a nice place to take a walk, right? Derek wasn't sure, as he was hardly ever out anymore. He was too busy wallowing in self-pitty and being depressed to think about going out. He was still nursing his latest broken heart, though it had been nearly a year ago now. It had hurt him so much when he found out that she was cheating on him and spreading his secrets. Therapy had helped a little, but... putting his heart back together was always hard for him. Yeah, he had experience in the matter, but, it still hurt.
Upon waking this morning, there was a note on the counter that told him, 'You need to get out of this cavern and live a little, sweety.' He knew exactly who it was from too, Rhea, the young hyrdokuhna at his place of residence. She was always so motherly to everyone, especially since she had her litter. Derek understood her concern, but he really didn't want to leave. He wanted to mope a little more. But, he had obeyed the small kuhna. After all, mother knows best. And she was like a mother to him recently. She listened to him and never asked him to speak about what he didn't want to. He loved her, like a child loves his mother. It wasn't romantic in the least. He just enjoyed the young woman's company. And he was glad that her husband understood Derek's need for a mother figure. Especially after all he'd gone through...
The lucain continued to walk through the park with a sad expression on his face. It was depressing to see all the couples walking around the park at this time of day. He sighed, and continued to walk, keeping his eyes on the path beneath his feet.
