“Right now, we don't even know where she'll come from.” But as he spoke, his thoughts wandered.

He made a mental note to start keeping an eye on the younger generation in Wiltspoon’s most prominent families.

When the time came and Zachary had a daughter, he’d make sure that boy was there to watch her grow up.
