Tarquin was momentarily stunned, then quickly looked toward the door.

Wrapped in a thick winter coat, with a baseball cap on backward and arms crossed, he stood there with a frown, looking every bit the picture of defiance.

The moment their eyes met, the little guy turned his gaze away with a haughty sniff, as if he was too cool for school.

"Don't get it twisted. I didn't come because I'm worried about you or anything! I couldn't care less. I'm only here because of Elijah, so don't flatter yourself."

Tarquin was speechless.
