How Long Is Forever?

Just Normal Everydays

With their decision to prioritize their relationship in mind, Jane and Maura decided to kickstart their efforts by going out to dinner with friends. They wanted to surround themselves with the warmth and laughter of good company, rekindling the bonds that had been strained by their busy schedules.

As they arrived at the restaurant, Jane and Maura were greeted by their friends with warm embraces and bright smiles. The atmosphere buzzed with the hum of conversation and the clinking of glasses, the air alive with the energy of friendship and camaraderie.

Seated at a cozy table in the corner of the restaurant, Jane and Maura settled in, their spirits lifted by the familiar faces of their friends. Laughter filled the air as they caught up on each other's lives, sharing stories and reminiscing about old times.

For Jane and Maura, the evening was a welcome reprieve from the stresses of their demanding careers, a chance to reconnect with the people who mattered most to them. As they laughed and talked late into the night, they felt a sense of joy and contentment wash over them, their hearts full with the love and support of their friends.

With Beacon's tail wagging eagerly, they set out on a hike along one of the scenic trails near their new home in Virginia.

As they walked, the crisp morning air filled their lungs, invigorating them with a sense of energy and vitality. The trail wound its way through towering trees and lush greenery, the sound of birdsong filling the air as they ventured deeper into the heart of nature.

With each step, Jane and Maura felt a sense of peace wash over them, the stresses of their busy lives melting away in the serenity of the wilderness. They talked and laughed as they walked, sharing stories and dreams for the future, their bond growing stronger with each passing moment.

As they reached a clearing at the top of a hill, they paused to catch their breath, the beauty of the vista stretching out before them in all its glory. From their vantage point, they could see for miles—the rolling hills and verdant valleys of Virginia spread out beneath them like a patchwork quilt.

As Beacon bounded ahead on the trail, her keen senses suddenly honed in on something ahead. With a low, concerned whine, she darted off the path, disappearing into the underbrush before Jane and Maura could react.

"Beacon, wait!" Jane called out, her voice tinged with urgency as she and Maura hurried after their beloved pup.

Pushing through the dense foliage, they soon caught up to Beacon, who was standing over a small clearing, her tail wagging anxiously as she nosed at something on the ground.

As Jane and Maura approached, their hearts sank at the sight before them—a young deer lay on the ground, its leg twisted at an unnatural angle, a pained whimper escaping its lips.

"Oh no," Maura gasped, her hands flying to her mouth in shock.

Jane knelt down beside the injured animal, her brow furrowed with concern as she assessed the extent of its injuries. "It looks like its leg is broken," she observed, her voice filled with sympathy.

Maura's eyes brimmed with tears as she looked down at the injured deer. "We have to help it," she said, her voice trembling with emotion.

With a determined nod, Jane sprang into action, carefully lifting the injured deer into her arms. "We'll take it back to the house and call a wildlife rescue," she said, her voice resolute.

Jane and Maura wasted no time in contacting the local wildlife rescue. After a quick search online, they found the number and dialed it, their hearts racing with concern for the injured animal.
