"I get it." Before I could finish, Ramona cut in, "My dear Lily's all grown up now, trying to be the rock for me, right?" I pursed my lips, "But I still haven't been able to do anything for you.

Gregory chuckled, coming in without a word, and wiped away my tears before liftingin his arms, "Then we're off to our room, you should rest, and call us if you need anything." I whispered lowly, "What are you talking about? Who's going to the sroom with you?" Con, cohabiting before marriage shouldn't be so blatantly justified.
Yet Ramona, with her sharp hearing, didn't wait for Gregory to reply and took the lead, "Don't worry, I'm not sold-fashioned fogey. Besides, Greg's been under my watch since he was a boy, I trust him." My ears burnt up.
