Kaiden observed quietly, understanding that Kason’s thoughts were likely with Norah.

Shifting his mood, Kaiden ventured, “Uncle Kason, do you have a moment?”

Kason, his eyes still on the papers, responded curtly, “What is it?” He suspected Kaiden was seeking another favor, perhaps caught up in some new mischief.
