"Of course you will, Martin's gotta work hard too." Eleanor said seriously. "I'm also planning to go back to school again."
Ethan's face darkened, then he shamelessly asked, "So you're ditching Martin?"
Royce was beyond speechless. Ethan, seriously? I'm about to lose it. Cut the act already! You're twenty-eight, man! If your girl finds out about your baby-talk tricks today, she's definitely gonna beat the crap outta you.
"I'm not! Who said that?! I've already told you—I'll never leave Martin behind. But still, we both need to take charge of our own lives.
"I promised you I'd study hard, get a decent job, and make enough to treat us to fruit skewers. And Martin you should follow Professor Duncan's lead and work hard too, so you can buy me soup dumplings someday, alright?"
