Francis nodded. "Next time turn the water on and splash a little in your hair so you're wet. It's way more believable." He smiled at her. "I can be a very good liar if I want to be. Not that I've lied to you or your brother. I like him so I don't want to."

His eyes widened a little and he turned to her and scooted a few inches closer. "Do you think he'd want to marry me? We only met yesterday but we are doing very well together." He wanted kids? "Well, there are lots of children without mothers or fathers. We'd be great with them, well ...he would. I would be a good helper. But he could change his mind and meet a woman and she breaks his heart and after he married her for a short time and had children, they'd separate and I'd be there to mend his heart and take over where she left off." It was a silly story but he liked making up possible futures for them.
