This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...Later, Diana got her husband aside while being careful to be out of Selina's sight after they had learned that she could read lips, and said, "You didn't have to mention that about evil people being attracted to disasters. Selina has enough worries without adding that to her list."
"And we build her hopes up only to find out that her parents have been robbed and killed. She's far too intelligent for us to blow smoke up her ass. I don't want her coming back to me and asking why I lied to her. She needs to be made aware so her whole life isn't tied up in finding her parents, only to find out that they've been dead for weeks."
"Maybe, maybe not. She's still just a seven-year-old…"
"Eight, day after tomorrow," he corrected.
Diana sighed. "Yeah, and I hope what we got her is what she really wants. It just seems…"
"That will expand her lab's capabilities greatly. Trust me; she'll be on cloud nine."...
Have a goodun;
Roust
