Issac: To remind us all why Jonathan is going to die?
Tom: Yes. Painfully.
Jayson: Good to see you two agreeing on something finally.
Stas: I have a question.
Luc: Shoot.
Stas: Why did you skip chapter three?
Luc: Chapter three? There were only three chapters.
Stas: It goes from two to four.
B: Huh. Weird. Seems to be a glitch in the formatting.
Alik: Or maybe fate is wishing this book would fucking end already?
B: So negative. I think we need a sexy story, Luc, to improve the mood.
Stas: Hold on. Before we go there, I have another question. Eli mentioned Amelia being the daughter of a duchess. Does that make Issac a duke?
Issac: Yes, I inherited the title when my birth father died.
Stas: Seriously?
Issac: Does that increase the romance for you, love?
Stas: No, but it explains your wealth and, uh, personality.
Issac: Meaning?
B: Your priggish nature?
Tom: Don’t forget the arrogance.
Issac: Are we going to finish this book or continue to assassinate my character?
Stas: I just meant it explained his formality. You should probably start the next story now.
Amelia: Can you try for something more uplifting, please? I’m rather tired of living in the past.
Luc: Brazil?
B: Brazil.
Leela: Real version or fake one?
B: Well, hello, sweetheart. And just who might you be?
Leela: Yeah, I thought the real version too. I’ll take over after your introduction, boys.
B: I like her.
Luc: Me too. Who is she?
B: No idea. Let’s find out.
