"In Boston." She nodded and then sat at the table and gave a small shrug. "I just wanted to be on my own... We know some people here... well, my father does."
She paused, "What about you?" Then, with a smile, "I'm sorry, what is your name?"

"What about you? I'm sorry, what is your name?"
Reeves wasn't used to being asked his name by the rich very often, they usually just took their packages and shut the door in his face.
"Reeves...er Seth Reeves. Everybody usually just calls me by my last name, Reeves. Except for my sister, Alice, and my brother Darry when I'm in trouble," He flashed a little grin and laughed.
"My family lives here in the city, what's left of it anyways. I live in an apartment in Harlem with my sister and two brothers, all older than me."

"Oh," Valerie nodded, sympathetically. Then, carefully, "What happen to your parents? If you don't mind my asking..."

"What happen to your parents? If you don't mind my asking..."
Reeves just shrugged, he was only a little boy when it happened, so it wasn't like he remembered his parents that well when it happened.
"A buggy accident, they were trampled," Reeves said softly, an emotionless look on his face. He just shrugged and said, "It happens to the best of em' I guess..."

"Oh, dear..." Valerie looked genuinely concerned and saddened by the news. "I'm very sorry..." She spoke gently, "Well, I suppose you've very lucky to have your brother and sister to take care of you."

"Well, I suppose you've very lucky to have your brother and sister to take care of you."
"Yeah, I am. I dunno if they're so lucky to have me, Alice worries her head off around me, Darry gets mad at me, Danny sticks up for me, and then Darry gets mad at him...We ain't the perfect family, but we try. Darry's at school on a scholarship working up to be a teacher. So me, Danny, and Alice all work to keep up the rent and the tuition and all. It's okay though, we make it through most of the time."
He smiled and shrugged, before saying politely, "You're a good cook. This cookie is really good! I have better eating taste than dress taste, mind you." Reeves grinned.
