The Jarrett family was incredibly warm and welcoming, so much so that Hank began to let his guard down and truly enjoy himself in their company.

He agreed with Cherise that being surrounded by family felt really good. Hank had initially thought that the Jarretts would be aloof and boring, but he was pleasantly surprised to find everyone so approachable and fun. Jean, Lucas, Mary, and Arthur were the same.

As the day wore on, Hank remembered that he needed to get back to the orphanage. A couple was coming to adopt one of the younger girls, and he wanted to make sure everything went smoothly. He mentioned that he needed to leave.

Little did she know that they were the same

This realization made her heart race, and she couldn’t help but shout, “Turn around! Follow that young man! Hurry!” Her heart pounded as if she had been startled.
