Elsa set the book aside and lowered her head as if she had something difficult to say. Before anyone could speak, she slowly began. "Since everyone is here today, I want to share some good news."

I raised an eyebrow, already suspecting that the news wasn't really going to be good. However, Jack seemed intrigued. He tossed aside the gift Eric had given him and asked eagerly, "What's the good news?"
