Little Grace had had an unending supply of questions, but little Xander hadn’t been impatient at all. He had answered every question for her patiently.

“Wow, Xander, you’re so great! You know everything!”

Little Grace had looked at him with adoration, as if there were pink stars shooting out of her eyes. Little Xander had felt extremely satisfied by that.
