PEYTON Three weeks ago, I was marrying the wrong man.
Now I’m standing on a riverbank at dawn in borrowed waders, holding a fishing rod like it’s an artifact from another civilization, being studied by a bearded giant who has said exactly four words since we met.
I’m terrible at this. He finds it hilarious. Silas doesn’t need company. He’s chosen this river, this silence, this life, and he wears it like it fits. I hate how settled he is.
I hate that I can’t stop watching him. The water does something to you out here. Slows the whole world down until there’s nothing left but what’s true.
What’s true is inconvenient. And his name is Silas Fisher.
