Whitefish River Now daylight don't make it right

@Emrik
I went ahead and started for us <3
Set for directly after his joining thread

She kept quiet as she led him through the territory towards the willow tree she had just recently discovered near the river. She like to sit under it's dangling branches; it reminded her of a similar willow tree at home, and it made things seem less scary. She knew she needed to tell Emrik the truth, but she wasn't really sure how to start. And, she was absolutely dreading seeing disappointment on his face when he found out what she had done.

She still hadn't spoke when they came to the tree, and she moved to sit next to the trunk, gaze falling to the water as the sound of it rushing by in front of them filled the silence between them.

How are mom and dad? she finally asked, deciding to start there in the hope that it would make telling him the truth easier.
