Mysteries Around Him

It’s been a couple of days since I helped River escape the clutches of a hunter wanting to kill him. And since we shared an…intimate moment. My mind has been racing since that day and for good reason. And my cheeks blush whenever I think back to that moment.


I have never felt closer to River than I do now. We’ve been through a lot together and River has shared so much with me. I don’t feel like just his girlfriend. I feel like I’m a part of his world that he keeps hidden from everyone around. No one has ever gotten this close to him in such a way, and it makes my heart swell with happiness knowing he trusts me enough with his secret and to be by his side.


A lot has happened since I met River, but I wouldn’t change any of it. I’m glad I spent all those hours thinking about his red-speckled eyes and the way he carries himself when he’s around other people compared to how he’s with me. I’m glad he shared his secret with me, even though it wasn’t intentional at first.
