"No kidding. Uncle Kevin and aunt Leena are both very tall. You inherited all the tall genes passed on from your parents, so you wouldn't be a short guy," Owen said.

"Richard and Owen are all back. But I heard that their holidays are supposed to start in a couple days," Joyce wondered. Catching the hems of her full-length gown, Joyce walked towards Jasmine. Joyce was a beautiful girl with long black hair and dark eyes. She liked to wear gowns along with diamond necklaces and she looked fabulous and graceful when she wore them.
"Joyce, I haven't seen you in a while. You look gorgeous tonight," said Richard not taking his eyes off her. He was totally obsessed with her.

Of course you were beautiful all the time. I think you are more than beautiful. You are perfect," Eden defended himself eloquently. He should have been a lawyer instead of a doctor.
