She welcomed him into the warm room and asked, “Do you have something to tell me?” The boy opened a pair of eyes as pure as a newborn’s, clenched his sleeves, and said, “Grandma is sick.

“Hello, my name is Howie. This candy is for you.”

His actions reminded Hazel of her Leila at home, and she smiled and politely declined, “Thank you, Howie, but I don’t eat candy. Just keep it.”
