Well, suffice me to say at this point that the deepest foundation of Joanne's heart was shaken.
'Grandma?' she repeated to herself. 'Well, that sounds wonderful.'
She immediately wiped off the tears she didn't know had formed in her eyes as a genuine smile sprang up from deep within her, brightening her sad face.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, I'm fine now that I have seen your lovely face. Did I scare you?"
"No," Eleanor replied boldly in her sweetest voice. "I was only worried about what could make such a beautiful grandma sad?"
This, without fail, caused another warm sensation to spread over Joanne's heart, endearing the little angel to her the more— she was totally smitten by Eleanor's charms.
Joanne impulsively did something she had never done in her life before— confiding in someone other than her proud friends.
