Gemma York hadn't expected a sentence from Nikolai Owen to be, "Young people are too impulsive... Be careful, or you'll eventually play with fire and get burned."
Ethan Herd smiled faintly, "It's time for young people to be impulsive. This world has always seen the new waves crash over the ones before and kill them on the shore. If we don't have our fun when we're young, should we wait until we're old and get beaten up instead?"
Gemma York suddenly didn't know what to say, Ethan Herd was just short of explicitly stating: I'm planning to be the wave that kills you on the shore.
Between Scarlett Glenn and Ethan Herd, their sharp tongues could be lethal.
Gemma York scoffed, "Since my dear nephew Ethan refuses advice, let's pretend I never said anything..."
Before he could finish, Ethan Herd chimed in, "Did you just say something?"
Gemma York nearly coughed up blood!
