Grandma? She called with great familiarity.
Her eyes flashed as she smiled and said, "I can understand why you wouldn't want to stay—young people these days don't really like to spend time with the elderly, finding old-fashioned thoughts burdensome and boring. Mom, you have to understand."
Amelia Clarke smiled without a word.
Emily Collins chuckled, "Jocelyn is also young, but I think she enjoys spending time with me, don't you, Jocelyn?"
Jocelyn Griffin glanced at Wendy Jones before latching onto Emily Collins's arm, "Of course, Jocelyn loves being with Grandma the most."
"Amelia, you should head back now, so you won't be delayed," said Emily Collins as she patted Jocelyn's hand and spoke to Amelia Clarke.
Amelia Clarke smiled faintly, bid farewell, and departed in her car.
Benjamin Griffin and his family escorted Emily Collins back inside.
"Is Dad not at home?" Wendy Jones asked.
