"How much of my conversation with Preston did you overhear earlier?" he asked.

Taking a sip, Josie looked utterly bewildered. "What conversation? I didn't catch that. What was said?"

She truly hadn't heard, as her attention was completely focused on the documents.

As expected, Dexter couldn't help but chuckle. "I was saying, Mor..."

Suddenly, Grape hopped over the threshold, calling out joyfully, "Mommy!"

"Have you just woken up from your nap?" Dexter bent down, lifting her into his arms. "Hi, Philomena."

Josie was teasing the child when she remarked, "Even though a name has been given, I'm still not used to hearing it."

"It's precisely because you're not accustomed to it that you should use it more."

Grape nodded emphatically. "Daddy said that I will also have a formal name from now on!"
