Discussing matters in the study always felt more comfortable than in the bedroom.

Upon reaching the study, Elysia stood with caution and asked, "What do you want?"

Tarquin got straight to the point, "Does your son know Nola?"

"No, he doesn't."

"Do they, compared to other kids, show any unusual traits?"

Elysia confidently and assuredly said, "Not at all. They are just ordinary kids. Oh, they are quite smart though."
