Chapter 19 Short Tricks Go a Long Way

Aaron and her boys enjoyed a week of tours, restaurants, and shopping malls with the Taylors. The boys handled their jealousy well when Aaron seemed more concerned with the Taylors and them, even though there were a few close incidents between Wendell and Roman- especially after Wendell pierced Kris's ear for him. But all of them, the host club and Taylors, were only concerned with the happy smile that wouldn't leave Aaron's face. They all knew what she dealt with, and they all wanted to keep her happy as long as possible, soaking it in until they had to go back to their lives and mourn when that smile came less often.
