"“Jangan khawatir, ada banyak perlindungan di tempat. Kecuali kalau kau ingin aku meminta Logan menjelaskan— "" Tidak! Saya percaya Anda. "Dia mencengkeram tangannya ke dadanya. "Dia ... Terkesiap ... Percayalah padaku! Panggil stat bantuan medis! ”Aku mengayunkannya, tetapi dia meraih pergelangan tanganku dan menarikku berdiri. Sambil mengayun-ayunkan tangan di pinggangku, dia berkata, "Kita harus merayakan kesempatan penting ini." "Apa yang kita rayakan?" Jacob Ashon, ayah Riley, bertanya dari ambang pintu."

“Don’t worry, there are many safeguards in place. Unless you want me to have Logan explain—” “No! I trust you.” He clutched his hands to his chest. “She… Gasp… Trusts me! Call for medical aid stat!” I swung at him, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to my feet. Snaking his arms around my waist, he said, “We need to celebrate this momentous occasion.” "What are we celebrating?" Jacob Ashon, Riley's father, asked from the doorway.
