Reluctant departure, part four: his grandmother's arms

Finally, Kalib was persuaded to get up from the bed and head for the door. Just before he reached it, he spotted his grandmother and detoured into her arms. If everyone could see how much he loved her and wanted to stay with her, then surely he would be granted one more night in her house.

Jobe's grandma looms large in his eye

Then he turned his grandma's magnifying glass on his grandma. He liked what he saw. I remember when I first saw her - I liked what I saw, too. That's why Jobe and his brothers are here tonight. That's it for this day.

Jobe finds magic in his own hand

One of the two boys who came here tonight found his grandmother's magnifying glass. He saw his own hand as he had never seen it before.

The breakfast that followed my breakfast

When I came home from Abby's, I found Lynx up and eating breakfast himself. No more pictures before my afternoon coffee break... I think.

The current debate. - what will the outcome be?

I'm debating on whether to have breakfast here right now, or to wait until Lynx gets up and take him to Abby's.
