“Nope, that was terms of your favor. I teach. You learn. It just changes the level of what I might be able to teach you.” Summer picked up the teapot and set it on the sink edge.

“I need you to teach me how to protect my house. Right now, that’s priority one for me. I want it so there aren’t any repeats of breaking and entering and so that Riadh is safe. Me, too, I guess.”

“Okay.”
