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.

She was about to inform the security guards at the gate when she saw Hank riding a bicycle out of the gate. Compared to the student with thick glasses she had seen with Cherise a few days ago, this boy looked much more like Arthur. His forehead, facial structure and features were strikingly familiar.
