"How has Madam Susan been doing lately?" "I heard she's getting better." "You heard?" Josiah set down the water glass, sinking further into the couch as he continued, "I haven't seen her for a while.

Josiah slowly opened his eyes, gazing at her with mixed emotions. "Lysander, what did you do with the child in the end?"
