Had he agreed? Was she really going to stay in Philade with her grandfather? Well, that was fine. Just yesterday, Sabrina had mentioned shed be heading to Philade for work soon.
Seeking a quiet corner, Jennie dialed Tyrones number.
As the call connected, Kaleb swiftly placed his coffee down and suggested, Make sure its on Loudspeaker.
Tyrone cast a glance at Kaleb and, with a hint of annoyance, activated the speakerphone feature. Hello, Jennie.
Hi Tyrone, whats up? Jennies voice filled the room, causing Kaleb to give Tyrone a look of triumph. It seemed Jennie wasnt that close to Tyrone after all. She didnt even refer to him as dad.

Would you like to visit Philade with your grandfather? Tyrone got straight to the point.
Jennie had declined the offer just the day before. She assumed if Tyrone was against the idea, he wouldnt have called to inquire again.
Presumably, Kaleb had swayed Tyrone, who now hoped shed reconsider.
Wishing not to trouble Tyrone further, Jennie replied, Yes.
Tyrone was taken aback by her answer, casting a glance at Kaleb.
A knowing smile spread across Kalebs face.
Jennie, Just to be sure, do you really want to go? If youre hesitant, just let me know, Tyrone probed once more.
To Jennie, Tyrones words meant he hoped shed visit but also seemed concerned about her feelings. Hence, she affirmed, Dad, I genuinely wish to go. Plus, Sabrina will be in Philade. Itll be fun to be with her.
Tyrone found himself at a loss for words. He felt the urge to ask about the reason behind the sudden change of heart. Why was she eager today when she was hesitant yesterday? Had he become the unwelcome figure in this situation, only to be struck by his own daughters whim?
Kalebs expression briefly tightened upon hearing Jennie address Tyrone as Dad, but soon, a joyful smile returned at Jennies wish to visit Philade. Jennies last remarks about Sabrina went entirely unnoticed by him.

As Tyrone seemed ready to speak further, Kaleb intervened. Okay, Jennie, weve sorted it out. Youre free to go play now.
Jennie, hearing Kaleb, hesitated a moment, So Dad, Im going to hang up.
Tyrone remained silent. What more was there to say?
The click of the call ending resonated through the speaker.
Kaleb, wearing a grin of triumph, took a leisurely sip of his coffee and faced Tyrone. There you have it, Mr. Blakely. Jennie is eager to visit Philade with me.
Kaleb paused, his look turning intense. Should you try to meddle again, I wont hold back in our confrontation.
Tyrone didnt respond. With the situation as it was, he glanced down, pondered briefly, and then stated, Ten days. Ten days later, Ill come to Philade myself to bring her back.
A month is more reasonable.
Mid-month, Jennie has her uncles wedding to attend, Tyrone pointed out earnestly.
