Don sobbed quietly into her hands, trying not to wake the little children. She had been convinced that Rie was her friend, but now she had been betrayed.

"As soon as those hobbits come back up for their children I'll run away and never come back," she said fiercely. "Maybe then Rie will regret she went off with that person. And I hate that person even worse than I hate Rie! I hope her brother finds her and drags her home and locks her up in a cold, dark dungeon!"

"You must understand, darling, that you're not the only person in Rie's life," said a low voice at the door.

Don looked up, startled, to see Robin standing at the door. A huge sob shook her. "But she's the only person in my life!"

"And I'm sure she knows how much you love her, and will return that love." Robin took Don in her arms. "Little one, don't you want more friends besides Rie?"

"No."

"So when she's busy you won't be alone?"

"No..."

"To have someone to turn to when Rie is with a person?" A little smile came to Robin's lips.

"Yes...."

"Then you must accept Rie having other friends. Do you know what, little one?"

"What?"

"The more friends she has, the more friends you'll have. Do you know why? Because she'll want you to meet all her friends."

Don smiled. "I have to go find Rie," she said, jumping from Robin's arms and dashing out the door. "Thank you!"
