Swiftcurrent Creek A sons grief

Etienne was slightly appalled and definitely confused. B2cause even though he understood to a point, he also sort of didn't. How could you be so afraid of caring that you just didn't care. And why did he care so much himself about it.

He would find Etienne watching him crest the hill. Not saying a word. Simply watching as someone else closed a door on him.
