"I don't know..." Benny said, before noticing Athena. "I'm sorry, who's this?"
"Oh, sorry," Mia said apologetically. "Benny, meet my sister Athena. Athena, meet Benny, Tapanga's husband."
"I prefer Ben, Mia," he said. "I've told you that. Benny makes me sound like a little kid."
"Sorry," Mia said. "I thought you liked it."
He nodded, forgetting the correction as quickly as he said it. "I think," he said to Zahara, "that the McKays should keep Bibi. After all, she's already in all their family photos. They'd have to take new ones."
"Oh, Daddy," Zahara giggled. "You're so silly."
