“What did you think?” Sylvia asked William after shutting the door as Trik and Cassie drove off.
He narrowed his eyes in thought and rubbed his chin. “He seems a lot older than eighteen, but doesn’t look older. I think he was telling me the truth about respecting her. He won’t touch her without her permission.”
“I have to agree. The way he looks at her, like she is the only thing in his world and more precious than the most beautiful diamond.”
“The question is, is that a good thing or not?” He asked her.
“They are young,” Sylvia agreed.
“We’ll see how tonight goes,” William said. “Heck, she might have a horrible time and hate him by the end of the night.”
She shook her head at her husband, “I don’t think Cassie could hate anyone.”
“Everyone has their breaking point Sylvia, you know that.”
