"Well," says Alexica. "He's so kind and caring, and he is very smart. He always makes me laugh, too. I'm happy with him."

"Good. Question two: What do you plan on doing with my brother in the future if there is to be a future between you two?"
"I mean," she says, a little spot of pink appearing on her cheeks. "I would like to get married to someone - Jayce, if possible - and maybe have children too."
I smile. "That sounds wonderful. Now, last question: Can you cook?"
"Yup. I did a year in culinary school just for fun a few years ago."
"Good, because Jayce can't cook for the life of him."
She laughs, the kind of laugh that could out-sing a dozen songbirds. "I'll keep that in mind."
