He shrugged. "It's not surprising. Laura's parents aren't exactly attentive."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik

“They’re spread thin.” Sadie nodded. “It’s a shame.”

Nicholas nodded in agreement. "Fine kids, fine family--in church every Sunday--but they can't seem to manage themselves."

She nodded but didn’t add anything. It felt wrong to bad mouth the family behind their backs.

Nicholas glanced toward the kitchen; hopefully dinner would be ready soon.
"So do you have any kids?" Mary asked Sadie and Meyer.

“I’m childish, if that counts?” Meyer volunteered with a smirk.

Sadie rolled her eyes. “No. We don’t. How about you?”

She shook her head. "Focusing on classes right now, but Martin's got three."
"You talking about me?" Martin called from the kitchen.

"Ahh." He came into the room, grinning. "My pride and joy."

"David's ten, Olivia's seven, and Raina's four," he replied. "They're growing up real fast."
Nicholas glanced away. He felt bad for not being there for the kids; he knew Martin's wife didn't think he was a good influence, and Penny tended to agree with her. He supposed he himself agreed, but it didn't mean he didn't want to meet his grandkids. David had been too small to remember anything last time he'd been there, and he only got Christmas cards now.

“Aww, that’s sweet.” Sadie smiled a bit more. “I bet they’re great kids. Those are adorable names.”

"They're super," Martin agreed. "I'm a lucky guy."

Sadie nodded. “That’s great. And what is it you do again?”

If I see an American in real life or a kiwi in a blockbuster, it feels surreal and weird, and like a funny trip.
