I praised his Ma, but my praises were empty. Instead, they were a mockery. But Camila was too wrapped in the vain glow of flattery to pick up on those hints.
Karsten on the other hand, seemed a tad uncomfortable. Occasionally, he averted his gaze and took large gulps of coffee.

Karsten placed a small kiss on her cheeks and said.
"Of course! Ma."
I forbade her goodbye and made my way to the car. Olphi held the door open for me as I slipped inside and fastened the seat belt.
