Tybalt was very close to protesting that when had they ever settled for reasonable? but he was much too pleased by Elsie’s following mention of fondness to bother arguing about that. Never mind the children – hearing that hadn’t gotten old yet either. “Do I know how fond you are?” Tyb teased, sending his eyebrows waggling playfully. “My memory’s terrible. You might need to remind me.”
His eyes lingered on Elsie, most of the previous seriousness of the conversation forgotten now (along with the embarrassment of the gifted condom). “And you think they’re a challenge now? Just wait until they’re old enough to have started sneaking around, kissing people in libraries. Then they’ll really be trouble.”
