Lillian and Edwin were sitting face to face in the carriage. They were talking about how Joyce had already grown up to be a beautiful and smart girl.
"Oh, I was meaning to ask you, does Joyce show any signs that she can perform magic?" Lillian asked curiously to her son. "I asked Juniper but she isn't that aware about the whole witchcraft."
Edwin thought for a while and replied truthfully, "I don't think I have seen her showing the signs. But I might be wrong. After all, it has only been a few weeks since I started spending some time with her."
Lillian nodded her head and glanced out of the window.
A subtle but sad smile appeared on her face while she said, "I had really wished that you or Alan would inherit our ancestral genes. But that never happened… So I was hoping that at least my granddaughter would. I would teach her everything that I know and would make her a powerful witch."
