Vera Xavier offered a small smile. Sheldon Caldwell then turned to Nathaniel Nathan and said, "Hey, brother-in-law, how about you call me 'big bro' just once so I can hear it?"
Nathaniel Nathan's eyebrow arched. He knew Sheldon Caldwell was just trying to get one over on him. Instead of speaking, he simply flashed his fist.
Sheldon Caldwell immediately backed down. He rubbed the back of his head and said, "You know what, I've decided it's enough if you just acknowledge me as your big brother in your heart. Anyway, it's a lovely night. You two enjoy yourselves. I just remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
He hadn't taken three steps before turning back to Nathaniel Nathan. "I don't really have a problem with you wanting to kiss my sis," he said, "but we're on campus, so you'd better take it easy. Otherwise, one wrong move and we could have a repeat of what happened tonight. That would be terrible for my sis's reputation!"
