Chad turned his gaze to Molly, anticipation twinkling in his eyes as he awaited her response.

"Ah, introductions, huh? Waste of space compared to a nurse? Able to keep house and look after my bro, a daily vision of loveliness and grace."

Colleen eyed her daughter, "If your brother married someone like you, it'd be him keeping house and looking after you."

Chad raised an eyebrow at his sister. Ever since he found out she was playing dumb, he stopped holding back on certain matters.
