"Honestly, Herbert, you should have written," she scolded, though not like a mother-in-law; she had made it very clear she did not want to be one and he had made it equally clear he didn't want one. "Even if you didn't want your father to come I could have helped you invest your money."

"Alex is still very young," Herbert began, but then he paused. Alex was, at the very least, a little older than Sarah herself had been.

"Doesn't sound like he intends to be all on his own," she said darkly. "And in that he most certainly is."

"It's not the same," Herbert insisted. "I know it's unfair to you, but Vati does have his reasons-"

"We don't know if it's her."
There was a moment of silence.
"...it's probably her," Herbert conceded.

She looked like she was glowering.

"You reminded him of your mother," Herbert pointed out. "You're a very recent development, you know."
