Waylen's eyes held a depth that discouraged further objections.
Scooping up his sister, Waylen sat opposite Rena, still holding the baby bottle. He said to his sister earnestly, "If you can't get over him completely, try to manage. But if you're not willing to, take our parents’ advice and find a good guy to be with.”
