Follow the River (River of Rain, #1)

by C.E. Ricci

“Perhaps ‘Baby Shark’ would be a better choice?”

I’d rather be in literally anything else than this monkey suit.

like it’s a lollipop,

“You aren’t disgusting, River. He is.”

“You laughing more. It’s sexy as hell. And I’m selfish enough to want to hear it all the time.”

I have managed to de-grinchify Rain.

“The color…it reminded me of your eyes.”

“To be close by. If you need me. ‘Cause of the nightmares.”

“Thank you, Abhainn.”

“Only by you, baby. Only by you.”

“Yeah, Abhainn. You’re special.”

“You have me. You will always have me. Until every star in the night sky burns out. And maybe even then.”

“I didn’t want to fix you, only save you from your nightmares. Too bad I didn’t realize the real nightmare is you.”
