Parker was really clear on why I shouldn't try to do that," he added with a small shudder. He leaned in to whisper to Ada, "But I will tell you the present Eliot is getting the other two for their anniversary." To Hardison, he added, "What if I accidentally told you something so you never had Ada Grace? I would be a sad and lonely only child forever."
