"Mom! We're home", Alex shouted from the door.
Little Stacy let go of her hand and run into the house. She found her grandparents sitting together on the sofa with Stella's wheelchair beside them. Richard opened his arms wide for the little one. She jumped onto his lap and he pecked the top of her head. Stacy had been told about her grandma's injury so she was careful with the way she conducted herself in front of her.
"Good evening grandpa, good evening grabdma", she spoke with a bright smile.
"Good girl. How are you doing today?" He asked with a gentle gaze at the little one while Stella patted her cheeks gently.
"I'm fine! Grandpa, mommy took me to Ariel's for a play date."
"Is that your play partner at school?" He was genuinely confused.
"Nooo! That's Annie! Grandpa, how could you forget?" She whined.
"Dad, Ariel is our neighbor's kid", Alex said as she moved to peck his cheek before doing the same to her mother.
Bam!
