I casually said, "I think there are two things we need to clarify right now."

Zane raised an eyebrow. "What are they?"

I slowly explained, "The first thing is that Willow's already gotten used to talking to the dolls when she wants to talk to her grandparents. I think it's time we get her walkie-talkies.

Eric answered, "Yes, Mr. Huxham?"

Zane got straight to the point. "Is the doll ready?"
