Why don't I give her a bottle while you eat. I brought coffee. Really, I didn't know they made men like you, she said, letting him follow her into the kitchen. When he put down the plate and thermos, she handed over the baby and tested the bottle. You seem very comfortable with a newborn. For a man. A man with some nieces in Sacramento. He just smiled at her. She passed him the bottle and got out two coffee mugs.
In a scene from "Virgin River," a woman expresses surprise at a man's willingness to help with a baby while she prepares to eat. His offer to assist is accompanied by a bit of playfulness and charm, which prompts her to comment on his unexpected comfort with newborns. This indicates a deeper conversation about gender roles and parenting, especially regarding men's involvement in nurturing tasks.
The man's response is subtle; he simply smiles, suggesting he enjoys the moment. As she hands him the baby and prepares coffee for them both, it becomes clear that their dynamic is evolving. This exchange not only highlights his experience with children but also sets the stage for their growing connection amid challenges in the small, close-knit community they inhabit.
