"Grandma, there's a lot going on between Oscar and me. It's natural that Grandma doesn't know everything, because we didn't have any plans to tell you about things that actually happened. But, what we said earlier is true. William is 5 years old now. Later when the time is right, and William is coming home from his boarding school, I will bring him here to see you."
The tone that came out of Lisa's lips sounded soft and low, just like the breeze outside the room. She tried her best to make her voice sound serious so that the old woman would believe her.
At first, Brigitta couldn't believe their words right away. She kept assuming that Oscar and Lisa were both too excited to have children that the lovers were hallucinating.
But after she heard Lisa's serious tone and the seriousness on the pair's faces, over time, Brigitta believed their words.
"So I really have a great-grandson?" Brigitta asked in disbelief, but at the same time showing her joy.
