[No way.] Elliot rejected Ben's suggestion once again.
[Then what about giving her a bit more allowance each month? With the money she is getting right now, it will take forever to save up enough to purchase a house!]

"Elliot, who are you texting?" Avery asked when she noticed that Elliot was not eating.
