"I can't believe they said no" William said, sighing, for the umpteenth time
Benjamin rolled his eyes again
"A good wake up call, wasn't it dad?" Benjamin asked sarcastically
"Cut the sarcasm Ben"
"It was expected" Elizabeth said
"I actually liked them" William said and Benjamin raised an eyebrow at that
William Lockwood is a man pretty hard to please. To know that he liked the family after a half an hour visit is quite surprising.
"What? Don't look at me like that. I'm actually a pretty good judge of character. And they all seem very humble and honest people."
"Well. It was not meant to be" Elizabeth said
"The girl is really very pretty. She would have looked perfect with Ben" William said wistfully
Benjamin closed his eyes and leaned back on the couch with a sigh
