Ed wasn't all that sure that Leah was the kind who would relish that much family togetherness, but he thought it was just like Ella to offer.
He took in the information about what Ella did for a living, but wasn't quite ready for being back on the conversational hot seat. He cleared his throat and slid out of his chair, "I don't know about my expertise in the area of literature. But I do have a bottle of very nice single-malt upstairs and I think I'd to share that bit of expertise with you ladies..." he didn't really wait for a response. He needed a drink damn it and he was going to by-god have one. "Back shortly!" he purred politely before heading out the door.
