Description
He knew that she was standing behind him. He’d heard the footsteps. However, he didn’t acknowledge her presence, not until she sat down next to him on the edge of the bridge.“Hi,” she said softly. The great big darkness that was a tiny suburban town at night seemed to swallow up her words. “Mum’s all of a wonk, and Chrissy’s called the police, y’know. Twice.”
He didn’t bother to answer.
She let her eyes travel over the landscape, taking in the silent stream and the silvered stone. “So what are you doing out here?”
The answer was simple. “Moonwatching.”

aww, I wanted cookies! Oh well... *sigh* No sugar for me tonite ... T_T
My self-pity aside, this was a nice little drabble. It sucks not knowing the background story (What's Mum all of a wonk about that would require the police's attention?), but I liked the alliteration near the end.

All of a wonk because her...son is missing?
Rabbit hunting...it refers to the southern hemisphere's version of the man in the moon...the moon rabbit. (the moon looks different from the southern bit of the world) Look up the myth. It's neat.
