It had been over a week since the playdate at Ali's house, and Kyle noticed the difference with Alex.
He wasn't as aggressive.
It wasn't to say that Alex had suddenly become nice and warmed up to him, but rather, he was not as antagonistic as usual.
Ali had told him what happened, and it caused Kyle to feel completely surprised.
When he thought of the intelligence and awareness he had noticed in his son's eyes when he just born, Kyle had known then that his son was different.
That both of his children were.
However, at that time, from Kyle's perspective, Alex had more intelligence as compared to Rory. That was due to his behaviour which was more mature and his reactions, which appeared sharper.
Now, however, Kyle realised that it wasn't because Alex was cleverer, but that he had some sort of grudge with him. As such, his responses were different.
