As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Jeralong with her.
Jerwanted to stay and talk to Jesse a little more, but Nina's grip was strong and determined. He had no

Jesse stood there, watching them walk away, their small hands clasped together. A tight line formed between his

Alan noticed Jesse’s expression and understood exactly how he felt in that moment.
