[Andrea Travers]

Her friend's enthusiasm and emotion have Andrea in a bit of a flutter and uncertain of herself. However, she sighs and nods her head. "We're both lucky, then." Andrea decides that is the best they can do if neither one of them are willing to relent. Besides, they are allowed to both be lucky, right? Lucky to have such great friends inside and out of their houses. She begins to giggle. "Humperdink?" Andrea questions. That is even worse than Buttercup! These poor characters. "Do you think the author lives in a world much like our own? Some people here have the strangest names but Buttercup and Humperdink are absurd!" Naturally, she wants to read the book because it nothing else the character names will give her great amusement and the perfect way to escape from the harsh realities they live in. "I feel as if you are teasing me," Andrea sighs. Rhiannon is not quite done reading the book and Andrea will have to wait to find out the conclusion. "And please promise that if I try to name my future children something awful you will do all you can to stop me." Unless, of course, her husband has his own input and well, wives must obey.
