Elisha taps his finger to Isabella's nose. "I know what you're going to ask," he says.
"You have known me my entire life. I know you know what I'm going to ask," Isabella says.
"Micaiah doesn't!" Elisha turns to Micaiah and explains for his benefit, "She's not going to even think about angel babies with you until she at least knows if you would be angelico if she were Archangel. She's an ambitious one. In a good way," Elisha amends hastily at Isabella's halfhearted glare. "In the being-sincerely-smart-and-good-so-Jovah-will-love-her-best way."
