Damian was the kind he didn't usually feel like he was wasting time with when he spoke with him, which was rare and more treasured than Alex'd ever admit. The kid didn't know the whole game, but he was sharp and caught onto things quickly. He was worth appreciating.

In it, after unwrapping the gifts, he'll find a large metal Slinky, an old, illustrated copy of Peter Pan And Wendy in pristine condition, and a gourmet cupcake. It's a gift especially designed to say 'Damian, you are eleven.'

The latter part of Alex's statement has him wrinkling his nose. "Age shhouldn't be indicative of maturity. It's a stupid concept."
Reply
"But you've got it backwards, it's the maturity I was using as an indicator of age."
