“Oh, that IS a good tree. I like peaches. Do you like peaches?”
She smiled and nodded her head. “I like peaches and cherries and grapes and strawberries.”
“Me too! Those are all delicious.” he said, even though the last two were fruits that did not grow on trees. “Do you like her, a lot, too?” Alder asked, gesturing to Avalon. When the girl nodded, he continued. “Me too, I like her a whole lot.
