While normally Yuya didn't venture far from the house during the day, this time Bob had taken him somewhere very early. It would be the housemaid who let Greg in to work, very hushed and coy about whew the two of them were. Normally she was such a gossip, but this time she only nudged him straight to his work.

When Yuya returns, he comes bounding up the steps even more enthusiastic than usual. He takes a detour straight to the garden, however, skidding down the stone path. "Greg! Hey, Greg, you're out here aren't you?"

Usually, this time he'd be pruning the hedges and watering the flowers. He hoped this wasn't an off week, because he was going to burst if he didn't tell someone.
