“You think your mom isn’t all over her?” River smirks. Of course she is. Mom is always drawn to people she can help. Especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
I think it would be so hard to watch everyone around you find love and be stuck in a marriage filled with nothing but sorrow and longing for the love you see others have. I could see how bitterness would start to seep into your soul. I wanted to be the person to show her that not everything is as scary as you think it is. River’s mom did something right. She raised three of the most amazing children.
“Right.” I squeeze his hand before he leads me out of the nursery and down the hallway. When we reach the top of the stairs, I look down to see our family, and tears fill my eyes as they all yell, “Surprise!”
River’s hand comes to my chin, turning my head toward him.
“This is you, Mara. You’ve been healing us. My fearless girl is not scared of her heart being hurt.”
“How could I be when I know you’d put the pieces back together?”
“I’ll never let that happen. I vow to keep it whole.”
“Bet?” I smirk.
“You bet your sweet ass, wife of mine.”
If I know anything, it’s that River always wins.
