“Sweetheart, you are welcome to drop by our Hunter’s Haven anytime! That’s what we’re here for–rest, relaxation, renewal…umm, other ‘r’ words that I can’t think of at the moment. Even if you aren’t a hunter, I won’t tell anyone. Your secret’s safe with me.”
Gabriel winks and grins in delight.
“We’ve got everything a weary soul could want. A kitchen with two head chefs who are in constant competition for making the biggest, bestest meal. The ultimate Healer who can help with physical, mental, and spiritual wounds. Word of warning–don’t try to tell him you’re ‘fine’ because that will send him into overdrive and you’ll be fussed over for days.
“We’ve got a giant dog who likes to snuggle folks by the fire. And by ‘giant’ I mean ‘pony-sized.’ Look out–he also likes to lick.
“The rest of our flock is pretty special too. We’ve got pranksters and mother hens all over the joint. You should be able to find anything you need. So, feel free to stop by anytime!”
Gabriel grows sober, his gleefulness turning solemn.
“Seriously, kiddo, we’ll receive you with open arms and wings. No judging. No pressure. No hate or anger. Just a lot of love and food and healing. You are welcome to stay as long as you wish.”
This is good, cause I come visit a lot!!!
