Rysa Walker Quote

A few seconds later, I heard Katherine’s voice from below. Kate, you have a gentleman caller. I rolled my eyes. How is it that a grandmother from the twenty-fourth century sounds like she’s from a Charles Dickens novel? Connor shrugged. Maybe both eras seem like ancient history to her. Could you tell me the difference between what they called a boyfriend in 1620 and in 1820?This time I gave in to the temptation to stick out my tongue, and Connor surprised me by actually laughing.
