Fletcher quickly made his exit; another minute of witnessing the couple's nauseating display of affection, and he might have gone blind.

Stuart noticed Morwenna zoning out a bit. He leaned over and reassured her, "Don't be scared, kiddo. You're going to see a lot more later on in life, and I hope you're never scared of me."
