“No.”
“Math?”

“Why are you asking so many questions?” Rowan asks suspiciously.
I narrow my eyes in response. It seems like the guilt Rowan felt for the exploding goo incident is rubbing off.
Man, I wish I could go back to that night when the kid obediently got ready for bed and went to sleep without so much as a grunt in response.
