Dorothy and Milton instantly clapped. "You're already keeping secrets at your age? Our Willow is amazing!"

Willow blushed with a smile. "Yeah!"

Milton answered, "Alright."

As a thought crossed Dorothy's mind, she immediately suggested, "How about we take you out for some fun after school to celebrate you finally being able to talk to us normally, Willow?" Willow quickly said, "I don't think I can."
