"You didn't bring your things over?" Evan Fairchild noticed that almost everything belonged to Ian; she only had a single suitcase.
"I don't need to. The suitcase just has some of my daily necessities," Melody Monroe explained hurriedly.

'Please don't let him get the wrong idea,' she thought frantically. 'I'm not trying to imply anything!'
"Ma'am, where should I put these? I can help you carry them," Tommy asked again.

"Give them to Auntie Lana," Evan Fairchild answered for her.
Melody Monroe lowered her head and took a deep breath. 'That Tommy is going to be the death of me! I don't know if I'll ever be able to explain things clearly to Evan Fairchild.'
"I'll unpack myself. Really, it's no trouble," Melody Monroe insisted, unable to stand the thought of having other people do everything for her.
