“Do you want to find a romantic soulmate, though, or are you content to settle like Seth?” asked Tatiana.
Ignoring Seth’s snort, Benj considered this thoughtfully. “I’d like to find mine,” he said at last, “both the platonic and the romantic. I just don’t want to actively go looking.”
Amory is perplexed. “Sitting isn’t so bad. Besides, you slept with him. What’s wrong with sitting?”
Normally, her son’s innocence is downright endearing, but this time, Tatiana turns bright red. Amory’s spoken loud enough that all of the other Mums sitting by her hear and snap their heads around, and somewhere in the back of her peripherals and a tiny bit to her right, she sees Benj’s head turn.
“Not like that,” she splutters, “Amory, sweetheart, I did not sleep with Mr. Gray.”
