If you weren't paying close enough attention you could easily mistake them for an average pair of grey eyes. But I couldn't help but pay much more attention than needed. Captivating and beautiful, its almost like they were trying to tell me a story.

"Ryan meet River, he'll be staying with us for some time, so make sure he feels welcome." Says my mom as River extends his right hand in my direction.

"I'm sorry River she's just shy, we don't really have guest over often, you'll have to excuse her." I hear my mother explaining to River through my shut door.
