Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

So, no matter how the little lady was introduced, she had her own calculations well in place.

"In full."

Norris hadn't expected his daughter to seriously consider buying a mansion, let alone have the money ready for it!

He was about to speak, but before he could, he felt a sharp pinch at his side - Madge had given him a twist. "Whatever our daughter wants to do, just watch and keep your opinions to yourself," she chided.
