I stood behind my nephew as Alfred Borden knelt down in front of him. Mr. Borden smiled at me before pulling a coin out of his pocket. He held it up in front of my nephew.

"Are you watching closely?" He asked. My nephew nodded and mr. Borden smiled as he carefully turned the coin to reveal it had two heads. My nephew gasped and I looked on in awe.

"Never show anyone. They'll beg you and they'll flatter you for the secret, but as soon as you give it up... you'll be nothing to them.

The secret impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything." Mr. Borden said as he handed the coin to my nephew. My nephew smiled and happily pocketed the coin.

"May I walk you two home?" He asked as he stood up.

"If you would like." I answered. Mr. Borden offered me his arm, which I took and we walked off towards to my sister's house. We dropped off my nephew and walked to my house.

"I never did get your name." Mr. Borden said with a smile as we turned into my street.

"It's (y/n) mr. Borden." I replied.

"(Y/n)." He said. "A beautiful name for a beautiful girl." I blushed at his compliment.

"Thank you mr. Borden." I said.

"Alfred please." He said. I looked at him. "Call me Alfred please." I nodded.

"Alright Alfred." I said. "Well here we are. Thank you Alfred." I turned to open my door.

"May I come in for some tea?" Alfred asked. I laughed slightly, foreseeing something but not knowing what.

"I'm sorry Alfred. I'm very busy." I apologized.

"Oh alright." He said. I started to close the door. "You think that can keep me out?" Alfred joked.

"Bye Alfred." I said and closed the door. I turned around after I had locked it and gasped when I saw Alfred standing there in my kitchen holding my kettle.

"One lump or two?" He asked jokingly. I laughed and walked over to him.

"Alfred!" I giggled as I hugged his arm and took my kettle from him to make the tea.
