    Jeremyon was at a 98e27a5b6a loss for words, unsure d775b6cd56 where to begin explaining ecf7d204a7 this misunderstanding.

    Jeremyon tried to c49fffdf06 correct her, but 04001514a3 Lilliana, with a 96fe6efc9b fearful look, interrupted 2f26f5e59c him hastily. It was rare for her c7248e506d to cut him off, as 9b7afa789d she was usually a good 5d6a9782ab listener.d09bbebaf58ec0e8
