Ray avoided eye contact with River, his eyes revealing a slightly sullen feeling. “I wonder where my family is...” He winced, fighting tears. “I can’t believe things turned out like this.” He shook his head slowly, resenting the cruelty of reality. “Be right back.” He rose from his seat, hiding his face. He headed into the house.
Brady watched him leave, sharing his feelings. “Odd. He’s not normally a crier.” He shrugged it off, his eyes still reflecting peaceful state of mind. “That reminds me... back when we first met, did you hear our conversation? When I said I didn’t want this whole thing to change us?” He paused, not expecting her to remember. “Well, I meant it. Maybe it’s still me clinging on to the past but I can’t help it. When we move away soon I don’t know if Ray will be able to handle it. He’s been bottling something up; hiding it, actually. I just want everyone to be happy again...” He clenched his teeth, angry at fate. “Ah, sorry. That was a mouthful.” Weirdly, he trusted River in being able to confide to.
