The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky at Irwin Family residence.

Mr. Zack beckoned Jackson to come over. “Jackson, come here and let grandfather have a good look at you.”

Jackson’s grandfather was Mr. Zack’s best friend, and their families had been long-time acquaintances. Although Jackson’s grandfather had passed away a long time ago, their relationship. remained intact and strong.

Mr. Zack was nearly ninety years old, but he was in high spirits and didn’t look like someone approaching ninety. He held Jackson’s hand, looking him up and down then nodded. “Not bad, much better compared to three years ago.”

Squeezing Jackson’s arm he said, “You’ve gained some muscles. Very good, Bravo!”

Flora chimed in, “After three years of nurturing, if he hadn’t grown up well, I wouldn’t have let him come back.”
