“Stacin wiggled down from his mother’s side on the settee, making her grimace as he obviously hit some tender spots. “Don’t leave the room, pudding,” she said. I looked at her with surprise at the name with which she had cursed her son. She blushed, so I didn’t tease her. But really, poor Stacin.” quote by Moira J. Moore
