Maverick thought for a moment before replying, “That’s Uncle River’s wife. As long as Uncle River likes her, I’ll like her too.”
River tapped his nephew’s nose. “Baby, you’re such a sweet kid. Uncle River loves you so much.”
Maverick wriggled to get down. “Uncle River, I’ll walk by myself. I’m already six.”
“Perfect timing. Uncle River’s arms are getting tired,” River teased as he set the boy down. Then he turned to Bethany. “Belle, want Uncle River to carry you?”
