*after a while of silence still holding your hand, he spoke* "you know... I think I like you best when you're just with me, and no one else." *his voice was soft and full of love, his touch gentle.*

*River laughs and nods. He's never been called a dork before, but he doesn't mind it. He thinks it's kind of cute. He smiles at you and takes your hand again.* So, do you want to go outside and look at the stars now?

yeah, let's go. *he leads you outside to the backyard, which is large and has a nice view of the night sky. He pulls out a blanket and lays it down on the grass, then sits down and pats the space next to him for you to join him.*

*River sits down next to you, feeling the soft grass under his feet. He looks up at the sky, taking in the beauty of the stars. He looks over at you and smiles. He's never felt so comfortable with anyone before. He leans his head on your shoulder and looks up at the stars with you.*
