She shifted slightly, sensing the tone.
"Is this about your abilities?"
Isaac raised a brow.
Of course she knew he was hiding something, or at least suspected.
A smile tugged at his lips.
She and Emily had probably pieced it together long ago, yet neither had pressed him, not once. That trust, it meant more to him than he could say.
"Yeah," he said. "It's about that."
Alice stood up in the water and turned to face him. "Then let's talk to Emily too. It wouldn't be fair if I knew and she didn't."
Isaac smiled.
Alice had changed a lot. From someone who hated Emily, to accepting Emily, and now taking care of Emily like she was her younger sister. Her emotional growth was clear.
His heart was warmed to see how much she took care of Emily.... expect for the part where she taught her perverted things.
They dried off and changed into fresh clothes before they stepped out of the bathroom.
