Letting Erik take Aurelia for a few hours had been a good idea. Octavia had been able to leave the house, to head into the woods and spend some time among the trees. She'd been with Tefe, who had a calm demeanor that soothed the hurting inside Octavia in a way nothing else could.
By the time she returned to the house, she felt calmer, less anxious. Not back to herself, not by a long shot. But maybe she'd finally found her footing again. Learning to live without Lincoln was going to be difficult, but if she took it one day at a time, she thought maybe she could find her way after all. She met Erik at the door when he brought the baby back, and she took her daughter and held her properly for the first time since Lincoln had gone away.
Two days later, she was starting to feel stir crazy in the house. She'd lived more than 16 years in one tiny cabin on a space ship, but the house still felt incredibly small to her sometimes. So she bundled Aurelia up and headed out. She headed toward the forest, but only made it as far as the river.
She sat down on the ground with the baby in her arms. "This is where your daddy would come to fish," she told the infant. She knew Aurelia wouldn't remember Lincoln, how could she? She was too small to remember anything. So it was up to her to tell the child about him.
