The two arrived at the children's clothing section, which was filled with a dazzling and overwhelming array of merchandise.
"I've been so busy with work lately, I really haven't been paying enough attention to those two little ones. I have to make it up to them this time."
"Zola likes black, and Luke likes blue. Come on, let's pick something out for them."
Vera Warner picked out clothes according to her two children's preferences.
'This is my only chance, after all. Once I go to Aethelgard for the New Year to establish the company, I don't know when I'll be back.'
'I have to take this opportunity to spend some quality time with my two children.'
What the two of them didn't know was that as they were picking out clothes, a sharply dressed man was watching them from nearby.
The man was pot-bellied and looked to be well over two hundred pounds, his massive gut threatening to pop the buttons of his suit.
Stanley Sterling watched Vera Warner and Violet, his eyes filled with greed.
