Both went silent after they talked about the sons they lost. Even though Leland and Sophie understood they needed to talk about them in order to process their grief, it didn't make things easier or better.
It only happened not long ago. So, the wounds were still quite fresh. None of them say another word. Sophie didn't want to make the atmosphere turn more somber than it already was, decided to focus her attention on the little ones who started showing signs of hunger.
Leland nodded at her and took out a bag of food and gave the children some meat to fill their stomachs. He offered some to Sophie but she refused to eat anything until the children were full.
"You should eat first," Leland said to her. "We have enough food for days. We will stop in the next town and buy more food. Max and Duncan can also hunt for more meat."
