Chapter 89

Little Stephanie thought hard about Lester's question. Was he trying to make her momma like him? If that were it, then she would be very happy. But she had to conceal her excitement. She faced Lester, her face looking complicated. 

"You? Maybe, maybe not. But I must warn you it's not easy to win my momma's heart. Uncle Gary has been trying before I was born yet he couldn't win her over. My momma has a very strict heart" Little Stephanie said.

"A strict heart? How does someone have a strict heart?" Lester asked the little girl who was wearing a grin.

"You know how someone doesn't allow another person to do things they don't want? That's what I mean. Can you win her heart, Uncle Lester?" Little Stephanie asked.

"I think I can if you, my darling, teach me how to" Lester responded, smiling.

"I will teach you because I like you, Uncle Lester," Little Stephanie said with a wide grin.
