annundrielMom and I watched Wilby Wonderful a couple of weeks ago. Then I forced ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ginnith to watch it over the weekend. I love the movie, and Duck and Dan, kind of a lot.
Dawn
Opening his eyes, Dan can tell by the quality of light that it’s early yet, that grey pre-dawn before colors start to seep into the day. In the distance he can hear the river; beneath that, if he listens closely, the ocean.
When he and Val first moved to Wilby, he’d worried that it was too quiet. Now he knows he just wasn’t listening.
Behind him, Dan can hear the gentle sound of Duck’s breathing. His breath against the back of Dan’s neck is like the tide, sweeping in and out. Dan listens and lets himself be pulled back under.
