Jenny's usage of the phrase, "real boyfriend", was quite interesting. As if Miranda even had a fake boyfriend before. Jack spoke up immediately. "Let me do the honors. This is Paul Jefferson, a professor at Bedford College's Faculty of Physics. He's the youngest leading figure in the country for the subject of physics and ranked first among Nature Magazine's 'Top Ten Most Influential Young Scientists' last year. He turned to Jenny with a smile. "Aunt Jenny, do you understand? Do you need me to break it down and spell it out for you?"

He does look exactly like Justin though. “Why is that possible?” I rhetorically ask. Certainly, it can’t be a mistake. I remembered recognising Luke from somewhere. And the story of the land dispute between them and the vampires. It’s all coming back to me now. Justin’s father is a doctor, Luke must have been working with him for years. I still can’t remember where I’ve seen Luke, that’s not important. What’s important is that we have a lead now, Justin’s father. “We have to work fast, now that we have a lead.” I tell them.
