Love Bear Nun (9 page)

Then there was Jillian Campbell. She found out she couldn't mate shortly after Jeneva and Jaime's parents had been killed. She had stayed in Reserve Park for a few years and looked sadder everyday. No one was surprised when she decided to leave the park for good, and serve out her years as a nun.

Jeneva ran a hand through her hair. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea after all. Bad things happened to Bears who tried to make it on their own here. At least as a missionary, she might do some good with her life. She could serve the poor, and forget all about her own problems.

Jeneva pulled back onto the road, the stress of the day melting away with the power of this new direction. The only thing would be breaking the news to her brother and friends. But she was sure they would understand. It was her life, and she was the only one who could make something good out of it.
