203 Cole's Sixteenth Birthday (3)

His eyes became wide. It couldn't possibly be… He narrowed his eyes and frowned at her. At sixteen Cole had grown taller and muscular due to all the rugby sessions. He towered above her at five feet ten inches, and Dawn knew that at this rate the boy would be over six and a half feet by the time he reached twenty. 

"I don't understand what you are trying to tell me Dawn. I am looking for a lot of things in my life," he said. Quetz was the priority. 

"I know," she nodded. "So better start looking for them." 

"Which room's key is this?" Neal asked as he helped himself with another slice of cake. 

Dawn turned her face to him. "You keep eating, Neal. It's a surprise for Cole." 

"There are so many rooms in this property," Daryn said, turning his dagger-gaze away from his father. "Poor Cole will be running throughout the night to find a keyhole for that." Daryn broke into a fit of laughter. "You are so— so�� funny!"
