"Ryan is still young, and his career is so successful now. There must be plenty of women willing to be with him! He has his whole life ahead of him. Who's to say he won't meet someone else who captures his heart soon? When that happens, all our problems will be solved." Mr. Sterling waved his hand dismissively. "Maybe it's not as bad as you think! Is he really going to fall out with his parents over Evelyn Grant? Disown us?"
Florence Morgan sighed, "You didn't see the look in his eyes when he talked about Eve! It's... the kind of look you only see when someone is truly in love."
"So what if he's in love? There's only one Evelyn Grant!"
