Jesse stayed quiet for a moment, eyes still on the book. Then he asked, “Uncle Alan, can Nina cwith you

As they chatted, tslipped by. Before they knew it, it was already four-thirty in the afternoon.
Nina cback inside with Jerome, walking slowly, her hand still holding his. “Can’t you stay just a little longer?”
she asked, her voice soft and hopeful.
Jershook his head, polite but firm. “I promised my mom I'd be hby six.”
He was a good kid.
Nina's shoulders slumped. “Okay.” Her mood sank in an instant.
