Chapter Four Hundred and Fifty Six

Jensen laughed again.

"So do you like it here, Tim? How has it been since you moved?" Jensen asked.

Yeah I guess I like it. I have always wanted to come here. So I can be with my grandma and grandpa, and my Uncle Jon. But mom didn't want to at first. I was so happy when she finally changed her mind... I kinda miss my friends though but my mom said I can make new ones" Tim said.

"And how's that going?"

"Pretty good I guess"

"That's good. And now you can count me as one of your friends"

"Really?" Tim asked.

"Yeah. Sure. Your mom and I used to be really close when we were little"

"Well, she never told me that. And you never visited us.. Why didn't you?" Tim asked.

"Well. Sometimes life just separates people. People just you know... Loose touch. You understand?"

"I'm not sure I do, but I guess it's the same with my friends I had to leave behind" said Tim.

"Yeah, that's right. You are a smart kid. I like smart people" Jensen said.

Tim smiled. "Thanks" he said.
