His words were comfort, whether or not he knew it. Ahren didn't lie, at least not that Jasper knew of. He's always known his father to be an honest man, at the very least, and if he said something he almost always meant it.

It wasn't that there were no words to be said or that the delirium had taken him past the point of being able to. He was actually quite aware at that moment, and that was the reason for his silence. Even if it would only last a short time, even if Jasper would be out of it in way way or another by the time that they arrived in Esper Hollow, he felt, finally, as if he and his father were sharing a moment where he was completely certain that Ahren really did care for him. |
