"Your daughter... Dawn?" His eyes are wide. Yes, he does remember now. It's vague in the way that many childhood memories become but, that doesn't really matter when he also has River's explanation fresh in his memory.
"River didn't tell me it was fourteen years, but she did tell me she was married to two others with a daughter."
He does notice that envy. It worries him.
"It will not trouble me if you choose to court her, so long as you do so with the proper awareness that she is not that same woman. And, she is not only yours."
