Biting her lip, she confessed, Okay, I get it now.
Promise you wont pull this stunt again?
Nope, that wont happen.
Sitting her next to him on the sofa, Tyrone looked her dead in the eye.
Now spill it. Whats the deal with your uncle picking you up?

Jennie pouted.
Not my uncle.
Tyrone raised an eyebrow.

Then who?
My grandpa.
Your grandpa? Tyrone froze. Could it be Keilanis father? Did he come to Mathias?
Yep. Jennie nodded.
Did you even know your grandpa before? Tyrone frowned.
No.
So, how did you figure it was him and not some random stranger?
I I guessed. Jennie shot Tyrone a glance, betraying a flicker of guilt.
Youve got guts, going off with a stranger! Werent you scared hed whisk you away somewhere? Tyrone tried to sound annoyed but ended up laughing sulkily as he tried to playfully spank Jennie, only for her to slip away like an eel.
Listen up, Tyrone, I wasnt just guessing. I saw him at the mall yesterday Jennie quickly recounted her run-in with Kaleb at the mall the day before.
So what? Lots of parents hurt their kids, let alone a grandpa youve never met. Just because you share blood doesnt mean he wont harm you. What if he keeps you there and refuses to send you back? What if he takes out his anger on you? And even if you are sure you are safe around him, you shouldve told me. We were freaking out, me and Sabrina. Not to mention your kindergarten crew, waiting for dinner until you call.
Tyrone, I messed up. Jennie went quiet and reached for Tyrones hand.
I wont do it again. From now on, Ill tell you, Sabrina, or Karen wherever Im going and whoever Im with.
Thats my good girl. Tyrone motioned to the empty spot beside him.
Come sit.
As Tyrone observed Jennie, her head hung low, he asked gently, Hows your grandpa? Is he treating you okay?
