Nathan felt embarrassed. Not only did he fail to carry the coffin as well as Lisa, but she was also the important person for discussing the future of this town and its people. Even he knew that as the Mayor and leader such activity was definitely not appropriate. As leader he should have restrained himself better.
Still, he couldn't help but look at this tall woman alongside him. She had an unnatural confidence about her as she walked. He couldn't tell if it was because of her physical strength or confidence in her position or yet even something that he had yet to learn about her. He could see her dull gray eyes were constantly surveying the area and it seemed to him that there was much more thought going on behind those strong eyes.
