She smiled cryptically. “What? You think I would become a mother out of the goodness of my heart?”
“That’s one reason I’ve been told people have babies.”
She gave me a look that said I was unbelievably naive. “And Arthur, do you think he’s bringing your younger brother back out of the goodness of his heart?”
“What do you mean?” I demanded.
She smiled thinly. “Be cautious, Morgan. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

I knew I had been dismissed.
