Alpine Lake everyday adventures

She felt that she learned several things about Phox from his words: that he was a father to many, that he was a stable presence in their lives, that he still thought of them all even now that they were grown. For the first time, only briefly, Reverie wondered what might have happened if they had spent time together as they'd planned. If she had gone to him instead of Lestan. But then she discarded the thought; it felt presumptuous to think that Phox would have wanted her. Still, she thought that perhaps he could have been the kind of husband she'd wanted for herself. Someone who wouldn't fall to pieces under hardship. Someone who wouldn't just leave.
Of course I can! Reverie agreed readily, offering a gentle half-smile. Are you heading anywhere in particular? I can let her know where you might be found. Maybe - maybe if you guys don't mind, I could join you sometime. Traveling in groups is always better, and I'd love to meet your kids. Even if she was a little embarrassed at the thought, knowing they were likely nearer to her own age than Phox himself.
