The silence feels heavy as we walk away from the village. River stayed with Willa and Cillian, even though we had to convince him to. It’s only been a few hours since Nate woke up, but River is already attached to him. Literally. He wants to do everything he does. Wants to be everywhere he goes, which kind of made it hard for us to talk.
But now that we are finally alone, neither one of us is saying a word. How does one start a conversation like this? I can tell that he’s tense. The way he carries himself says it all. Maybe he doesn’t want to be here after all. Having a baby with a woman he thought he had lost must feel weird.
But to be honest, he’s been great with River. He doesn’t seem appalled by the idea of him being his son. On the contrary. I think he’s more than okay with it
