"Oh, Ryan. You made it," Patricia said, returning with a cup of coffee in her hand.
Ryan, Nick thought. So that's his name. What I wouldn't give for the ability to know everyone's name. Unfortunately, my power won't allow me to change myself.
Ryan hugged his wife, making sure that he didn't spill her coffee, then asked her how her day was going so far.
Nick stood by and smiled. It was nice to see such a loving family. Maybe he should just leave things be. After all, he could get advice anywhere and from anyone. He didn't need to get it from Patricia and her family. On the other hand, he was now friends with this family, so why not make use of them?
"Did you have a nice talk with Nick, dear?" Patricia asked Vicky.
"Actually, Nick was about to ask me something, but he never got a chance," Ryan said, turning towards Nick. "Well? What was it that you wanted to talk about?"
