Alistair wasn't much of a chatterbox, so Audrey jumped in, "So, what's your family like? | know you just moved to
Riverdale. Were you living in Willowdale before?"
It was funny how they were only just starting to learn about each other's families after getting married.

seriously as he spoke, his fork resting
still. "My family's pr: ty CO m
