“Your future son-in-law, apparently,” Alan said, strolling in wearing a plain white t-shirt. “Nina gathered the
neighborhood kids to witness her wedding with Jerome.”
“Wedding?” Freya repeated, eyebrows raised.
Ellis, however, looked completely unfazed.

chuckle.
Freya paused, considering this. “Is Jergood-looking?”

“Daddy,” she said, voice soft and sweet.
