Rose turned to face Cory, beckoning him with a wave.
"Rose, they are Wayne's and my children, Cory and Ivy," Rosalynn introduced with a gentle tone.
A warm, tender smile spread across Rose's face. She had dealt with children before at the counseling center and had even taken special training on how to interact with kids.
"Hey there, Cory and Ivy! I'm Rose!"
"Hi, Lady Rose," Ivy responded with an easy confidence.
Cory simply muttered a casual greeting.d2
"Is your uncle back yet?" Rosalynn asked, signaling for Rose to pick up the box of pastries.
"Uncle and Sir Knight are working in the study," Ivy chirped, tugging at her mother's hand with glee. "Sir Knight is so cool—he's working on digital humans, and he asked me lots of questions about colors!"
"Does that sound fun?" Rosalynn inquired softly.
"Yeah!" Ivy nodded vigorously. "Sir Knight said once the technology is perfected, we'll be able to see our departed loved ones on the internet. I want to grow up fast so I can make those digital people look as real as can be!"
"I'll be watching with great interest then!" Rosalynn said earnestly.
She moved over to Cory, drawing him into her embrace.
"What about you? Don't you want to share with Mommy?"
"There are still many algorithmic difficulties, and hardware challenges as well..."
"Do you think it's possible?" Rosalynn prodded.
After a moment's thought, Cory replied, "Yes."
"Then I believe it will happen!"
Rose followed behind, filled with wonder. This was so different from her own childhood.
