Theodore's eyes darkened as he stared at Alastair. The boy's obsidian eyes were cold and distant; he did not act his age.

Everleigh was taken aback too.

Everleigh glanced at Theodore; he did not seem to take it to heart. He was holding a paper towel and wiping the ice-cream off the corner of Adrienne's lips.

Adrienne did not refuse and allowed Theodore to wipe her mouth. She blinked at him and asked, "Daddy, do you like fries?"

"Not really."

"You probably never tried the best way to eat them."

"What is that?"
