Names
-Ah, Merandie! Welcome to Bellum! Wh- -Save it. I'm here to talk with you. -About what? -Your children. -I assure you, I- -I know. You were never married when you met me, but it's been a few weeks since the boys were born, and I don't want them. -You don't?! Why not? -Because my husband and I adopted a little girl, whose only a few months old. She is someone I want. Not this guilt. -Very well. Did you give our boys names? -I named one. The one who was born first is Dean. His brother's name is up to you. - Hm...I will call him Luke, because I don't want to name him after me. -Whatever. The boys are in the nursery downstairs. Have a nice life. -Just a moment. What are you naming your daughter? -...I don't know. -Well, can I give you a suggestion, before you go? -Sure. Lighten me. -I did think of names for our children, a long time ago, and when I thought about a girl's name, I said Sally. -Sally? -Yes, but then I thought that would be too boring for a special girl, so I wanted to name a girl "Sallerina". -Why's that? -Doesn't it sound unique? -I suppose.... -Don't you like it? -As a matter of fact, yes. I'll talk to my husband later. -Alright, goodbye. -Please, take care of those boys. -I will. I have tons of lessons to teach them....
