He reads books.’ It was true; Gabriel was not his usual type, and he needed to be practical.

Even if he was nice to birds.”

“Are you kidding me?” Gabby demanded.

Marie laughed. “I am entirely in earnest. And there’s a Cocoa Ball in the evening—though that’s not for children.” She wasn’t sure why she added that qualifier. It wasn’t as if Gabby, whose eyes had grown comically wide, would be around to be told she couldn’t attend the ball.

Think of that. Someone could spill tea on my one book, and then I would be marooned. Honestly, Iona, you must use your head.”
