"Ethan from what angle is she normal?" Esmeralda asked him. It was bizarre that he would consider Ivy of all people normal. There was nothing normal about her.
"Sweetheart, her family is with her. She is not forced to grow up early. She is growing at her own pace, "Ethan made her see his point, "She is not emotional like Liam because his mother who he was most attached to died when he was young. She was not forced to grow up soon like Selene because her family was absolute shit. She is not rebellious like Ronan because it was his way to get back at grandfather for trying to discipline him. Ivy is a completely normal kid who is growing at her pace. I agree that she is a rare genius but everything about her is normal."
When compared to his family, the girl was very much normal. He liked that thing about her. How many children get to have a normal family and normal childhood? Even Esmeralda did not have the same normal life.
