Jane was nodding as Damian set off on one of his poetic philosophical musings, but was brought up short by his uncharacteristic comment. Family life?! Somehow Jane had never imagined Damian Pendragon thinking about such things. "Well, actually, no, not really," Jane finally answered, when she'd recovered from her surprise. She had never really been romantically interested in anyone, although she did have a number of deep and intense friendships with both men and woman. As for children, she'd had enough of that being governess to Violet Blackthorne--not that she didn't like, even love, the young woman, but Jane had to admit that she enjoyed the company of her former charge much more now that she had reached adulthood, more or less. "There are different types of family, after all," she continued, thinking of the Blackthornes and of her old potions mentor and all her former colleagues back at the Alchemical Institute. "The typical brand of domesticity isn't for everybody."
