Puzzlement flashed across Roxanne’s eyes at the boys’ answer.
It was the first in all the years that they kept a secret from her.
Roxanne’s curiosity heightened at their final product.
She started losing track of the time when the boys finally finished their crafts.
A glimpse at their finished craft and Roxanne was sure about her earlier assumption about the boys stealthily glancing at Lucian.

Archie and Benny exhaled a breath of relief when Lucian accepted their gift.
Something indescribable rose within Roxanne at the boys’ answer.
She admitted that Lucian had helped them a lot in the past two days and the boys should be grateful to him, but their change in attitude was a complete
