“You know, you’ve changed.” “How do you mean?” “Since River came into our lives, you’ve been... I dunno. More alive. More present than you were before. I’m glad to see you coming to life again.” I don’t really have anything to say to that, so I just nod. He’s right, in his way. Things really have changed since River came along. She’s changed me for the better. She’s so deep under my skin that I couldn’t get her out if I tried. And I like it, although a part of me fears it too. Because if something ever happened to her, it would wreck me beyond repair.
