"Come, I'll bring you to meet your great -grandfather." Shawn said as he gave Kayla a little shake in his arms. Stretching his hand towards Kayden, Shawn asked, "Kiddo, do you want to hold my hand?"
Kayden raised his head and with his pair of wise -beyond-his-age eyes, he looked straight into Shawn's eyes for a while before he placed his hand very slowly into Shawn's outstretched hand.
"Not bad, you're bold, like Leo." Shawn commented. He bent over slightly and picked Kayden up with his other arm. Turning around, he headed back into the room with steady footsteps.
Zoey quizzed Leo with her eyes; she didn't know if she should follow Shawn into the room as well.
Leo gave her a reassuring smile and wrapping his arm around Zoey's waist, he led her into the room. It was inevitable that Zoey had to meet Old Mr. Yancey. Even if she could avoid the meeting today, there would be tomorrow, or another day. She couldn't avoid meeting him forever.
