Getting Erin acquainted with his cousin wasn't hard. Robert was a bit withdrawn, and I couldn't blame the boy. At the age of three, he had seen facets of life he wasn't supposed to be exposed to.
I wondered about the kind of hardship the boy was subjected to. But as I watched Erin show Robert his toys to play with and try to get his cousin out of his shell, I pondered why James Meyers kept him alive. I could not see how they could use Robert against the Ashbrooks.
I looked at Anabel, who had tears in her eyes while watching her grandchildren. She was feeling both joy and sorrow at the same time.
Her mind was a mystery to me, something I didn't intend to solve. My attention returned to the boys, and I was grateful for them, secretly vowing to keep them safe and end the hardship
