I was drawing a blank for this prompt so this is what I came up with. That saying is a product of my wildly innovative brain. ;)
Huge virtual tackle hugs to my beta, banshee69 for meticulously working on this story with me and to my personal Da Vinci, IpsitaC77 apu for the gorgeous banner.

He feels his breath catch, thinking how she'd react.
"James?" Her voice softens. "Darling, what's wrong?"

"Knowledge," he blurts out.
Seeing her eyebrows pull together into a frown, he grins in his charismatic way. "I'm a genius, sweetheart. So my brain just soaks up all kinds of knowledge."
"Hmm." Her eyes stray toward his workstation before returning to his face. "I guess that's why they say that silence is golden but ignorance is platinum."
