Riccan closed the front door and turned around to confront his guilty-looking family. “What happened while I was distracting your mother? Don’t try to deny anything either. I saw all of your heads together as you were having a deep discussion.”

Amanda smiled and said, “I’d never try to deny it, honey. Let’s sit down.” Amanda told Riccan all about what she had discussed with her father. She continued to smile at how well her dad had taken the news.

Riccan patted her knee and said, “One down and one to go. Do you think your dad will work on your mom or is it still up to you?”

“I gave Dad my journal to read so he’d have an idea of what he’s dealing with. He said he’d work on Mom. I know he’s more optimistic about the outcome than I am.”

Amanda grew silent as she recalled her conversation with her dad. Another thought came to mind, and she asked Riccan, “What were you and Mom talking about?”

It was his turn to wickedly smile as he said, “She was trying to get me to tell her about the mother of the children. She’s convinced the woman must look very similar to you, Amanda. She thinks I married you so fast because you look like someone I lost.”

“Did you correct her?” Amanda demanded.

“I tried, but I couldn’t get a word in edgewise.” Riccan raised his hands in defeat. “Your mom is very stubborn and determined. I’m starting to worry you inherited those traits from her.” He tried to look terrified of the possibility but ended in laughing at Amanda’s expression.

“I showed Dad a sphere of elemy from my necklace,” Amanda suddenly announced.

“Really? What did he think?” Riccan was suddenly interested in Chris’ reaction.

“Of course, he was fascinated. He’s determined to see your telepod, and I’m sure he won’t rest until he gets a ride in it,” Amanda admitted.

“I don’t have any problem showing him my pride and joy. We can make it a family affair if you want?” he teased and received exactly the reaction for which he had hoped.

“Oh, please, no!” Amanda sat back and shook her head. “You and Juila can have the honors of that conversation, but leave me out of it!”

“Okay, I promise to spirit your father away and leave you to entertaining your mom,” Riccan relented.

“Hmm, how come I feel like you’ve let me out of the frying pan, but left me in the fire?” Amanda accused.

“Hey, you said you wanted to be left out of it. I’m just being the dutiful husband and doing as you asked,” he raised his hands to show his innocence.

The evening seemed to be winding down, and the girls had homework to get done. They stood up and said, “We’re going to head upstairs to work on homework and then go to bed. We love you.” They took turns kissing each parent and then left the room.

Amanda and Riccan stayed silent as they watched their daughters leave the room. Not for a second did they believe the two of them were simply going to do homework.
