John Fame shifts his gaze away.
Lissy Lock continues, "Right, Grandpa came to see me today. I've expressed everything I needed to say and convey, so you don't have to worry much about him."
"I know," he replies.
"Well then, is there anything you don't know?"
"You explaining things to Grandpa on your own really did save me a lot of trouble."
Lissy Lock cocks her head in thought, "I too don't desire to be a burden, I should make Grandpa understand my intentions."
John Fame's thin lips press together tightly. After listening to her, he speaks, "You're free now, Lissy Lock."
She nods and smiles, "Yes. John Fame, I've been waiting for this day."
He stands abruptly. His hands hanging at his sides, his fingers slightly curled.
"When are we going to visit the Fame family?" Lissy Lock asks. "It's a bit late today, how about tomorrow? Whenever you're free, we should go. After all, we owe Grandpa a visit."
"I'll let you know."
