Coyote continued his tales...weaving them around Red...for a bit she imagined they were true...but one day she came across a conversation that sounded very familiar...Coyote weaved his tales to suit his time and place...so Red found her truth...but she kind of enjoyed having Coyote around...he had done a lot of work around the place...kept her company...made her laugh so Red kept up the pretense for now...did the dance and let time unfold...
Along the journey Coyote made mistakes...was careless and Red discovered truths about him she didn't care for at all...Red had been hurt so many times before and here it was happening again...would she never learn? Better to keep her heart under wraps and not risk hurt ever again...so Red decided to Live one day at a time...
Live life as it was...take what happiness she could from what she had...look at the good and ignore the bad... someday maybe it would change...who knew? With her new found resolve...Red went on with life...enjoying life for the most part...some days she wished she had more...remembered love and all the joy that went with it...remembered those she had loved in the past...some she still loved...always would...but in reality she had to let them go...let them live they life they chose...Red couldn't continue to watch and wish...nothing would ever come of it so she turned her attention to other things...
Over the next couple of years with Coyote Red changed...some were obvious...as she grew older her body became soft...no matter how hard she tried she had trouble losing the extra weight she'd put on...she worried about it...felt unattractive and not worthy of anyone's attention...not even Coyote's...she withdrew and stopped playing around...then worried that Coyote's eyes would stray again and this time for good...
