“Really?” Hearing Sheryl’s remark, a faint smile formed on his thin lips. He then gently reached out his pinky and said, “That makes us good friends.”
“Uh-huh!” Sherly extended her little pinky and hooked it with Shane’s, and the two made a pinky promise.
“Pinky promise. Sheryl and Mr. Handsome are the best of friends.”
It was a once-in-a-blue-moon experience to see this jolly, childish side of Shane. Charlotte was too flabbergasted for jealousy and, instead, she let out a series of giggles.
Sheryl turned to look at her and said, “Mommy, come over here! Let’s all make a pinky promise together. Promise that we’ll all be best friends.”
“No thanks,” Charlotte rejected her offer with a slight grin and stuck out her tongue playfully. She then turned and walked into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.
