"William, dear boy…" Her hands were braced against the surface of the desk and she was teasing him again, playing that British accent against him. He blushed and she laughed delightedly, sitting up again. "You'll be fine. I have a friend there who will train you and then you can provide the necessary support to the family moving into that neighborhood."
And that was that. It always was with Helen.
