"You've no idea what you mean, Kevin." Mrs Kord objected "As the only son of the Kord family you deserve an almost perfect wife which will be if not impossible, difficult to find.""Mother, calm down." Kevin said "I have someone in mind.""You do?" asked a surprise Mrs Kord."Good then," Mr Kord remarked before getting up and leaving the table. Elliot followed suit but hid in the shadows to eavesdrop.Mrs Kord leaned forward and whispered, "Who is she? Do you really love her or did you just make that up to impress your father??""No," answered Kevin "There is infact someone and you know her. I have always been in love with her mom.""Oh, I see.." her words trailed of and then picking up her pace she asked "Are you speaking of Selene Wilson?""Yes.""I..I thought you both are just strictly childhood friends??"
