Silver Creek out for a paddle

It was interesting to watch the emotions and complexities play across the male's handsome face. For Shreya, while she'd been quite fiery in her youth, was not a very emotional creature. She hadn't even cried when Milo, her great grandson, had passed away, though she felt his loss every day. She wasn't stoic, no, but she was pragmatic and very held together.

But she liked the way youth tended to feel things, and she could see the questions in Heston's orange eyes. And then they came out, verbalised, and she understood them all. He was getting closer to Silver Creek while at the same time relating to his old experiences. Of course he was emotionally invested.

All good questions, she offered. And all unanswered. I never knew Reek well, but he didn't seem the angry type — and nor would he have any reason to begrudge our being here. But that's just speculation. As for Saena... she sighed audibly. She vanished, Heston, like a star in the daylight.
