'So, do you think you'll remember it all?' Daniel asked Cassandra.
'Yes. Thank you, Uncle Daniel,' Cassie said as she bounced off the chair to give Daniel a kiss on the cheek before bouncing up the stairs to her room.
'And good luck with your presentation!' Daniel shouted after her. As he got up to collect his stuff and leave, he saw Janet standing in the doorway, leaning against the frame of the door. Daniel smiled at her, and she smiled back. She pushed off with her shoulder, and took two steps towards Daniel. 'Thank you for helping Cassie with her homework,' she said.
'Yes, well, someone has to help her with history,' Daniel said.
'And I can't do that,' Janet said, teasingly.
'No,' Daniel said, before realising what he had just said. 'Uh, what I mean is, since I'm, and, um…'
'Yes?' Janet asked.
'Um, I mean, not that you're, um, what I mean is…' Daniel stuttered.
'Thank you,' Janet said, as she moved up and gave Daniel a kiss on the cheek.
'Um… you're welcome,' Daniel said meekly as he turned a nice hue of red. Janet smiled.
'I, um... should be going...' Daniel said, before practically running out of the house.
'See you later!' Janet called after him, and smiled smugly.
