Rachel's eyes glimmered for a moment. She furrowed her brow and spoke up, "Haynie, what's the deal with that kid Marvin and Ms. Cameron? I swear she's treating Marvin better than her own son, Keen."

"Dad, since Mom's got that other kid, does she not want me anymore?"

Before Haynes could respond, Rachel jumped in to reassure him. "Of course not! Ms. Cameron's just temporarily fooled by that boy. You're her own flesh and blood; she'd never abandon you."
