After dinner.
Baillie and Paige were walking in the garden.
The summer night breeze was blowing slowly.
Paige and Baillie were holding hands.
"Your family was pretty shocked about you getting hitched all of a sudden." Paige said slowly, "I overheard them talking, and even thought for a moment, did I put some kind of spell on you that you can't resist?"
"Hmm?" Baillie looked thoughtful, "So, is there something to that?"
"What?" Paige looked a bit confused.
"Can you cast spells?" Baillie asked.
Seeing her speechless expression, Baillie immediately burst into laughter. Paige couldn't help but join in the laughter.
Baillie pulled her into his arms.
"What did mom chat with you today?" Baillie asked.
Paige thought for a moment, looking at Baillie with hopeful eyes, "She said you were incredibly smart as a kid, even learned anatomy by reading books, and at five or six years old, you could perfectly dissect a frog!"
Baillie looked at her, appearing quite taken aback, "Don't you think that's a bit strange?"
He remembered the way his family looked at him after they found out he had dissected a frog, it was like they were looking at a monster, and at that time, he never understood why.
Later, his relatives burst into his 'secret base', paralyzed by fear of his actions. From then on, his family was afraid of him. That was when Baillie realized, his behavior might not be normal.
From then on, Baillie started learning how to act normal, so people wouldn't look at him differently.
