"This kid?!" said a few of the headmasters. With every move, Shaun was simply sublime.
Caroline grinned from ear to ear. Forget Victor; this kid was the future. She was simply in dreamland but soon was brought back to earth. The more eye-catching Shaun became, the more likely he could be snatched from her grasp.
She cursed herself; why didn't she force Barnabus into signing him over from the first day.
Barnabus saw her expression and loved it. Finally, he saw his leverage. She turned and saw that he now had a smirk, and for the first time, Barnabus took a drink from the wine bottle.
"This truly is a good year, isn't it," He said while admiring, twirling his glass like a connaisseur. The balance of power had changed, and he was no longer frightened by Caroline. There would now be bigger fish in the pond with Shaun's performance.
