The way Rad grins at her when she tosses her hair into a messy bun and frowns at our existence has his eyes lighting up, and he’s as obsessed as I am. His whole face screams joy and happiness, and I couldn’t take that away from him. Or Callum. His entire being vibrates and simultaneously bursts with red cheeks. He’s absolutely smitten by her. Just like I am. River isn’t just mine, no matter how badly I wish she were. She’s ours.
