There were enough friends, both girls and boys, who'd sighed over Uncle Jordan that by now Sarah had long since become inured to the whole thing. Uncle Jordan himself had always found it more amusing than anything else - because, he'd told her once, it had not exactly been the prevailing opinion when he'd been in his teens and twenties. "I'd probably get a present from Bas if I introduced you two, anyway. He's just back from Cambridge and bored."

And if there was anything more dangerous than a bored Novak or Kagan - well, it was probably a bored Fox or Prochazka-Shaw, really. "Dearest, you have a sex addiction. It's okay. We love you for it."
