"I'm sorry, what?"
"Boy-friend," Bri repeated, with a haughty sniff, "He is a boy and he is gonna be my friend."
Cass rubbed his cheek for a moment, staring at his daughter... And then at Conor, before saying, "She's all yours." And he started out of the tent, though really only to grow them a quick carrot. He couldn't do it within the tent - it was too cold to sustain the vegetable. Bri just reached for Conor's hand with determination.
