Roy Lewis was surprised. He simply mentioned the matter to his son in a phone call and the little guy readily agreed.
At Richelle Dunn's place, after getting off the phone with his father, Timmy pulled Timothy and Tiffany back into their room, purposefully peeked out from the room to say to Mrs. Walker, "Mrs. Walker, my little brother and sister and I need to think about something. Don't bother us, please!"
Mrs. Walker, now used to these sly little ones who would often seclude themselves, nodded, "Alright, we'll call you when dinner is ready, ok?"
Timmy gave the Mrs. Walker the OK sign like Timothy would, and then closed the door.
"Big brother, what's all the secrecy?"
Tiffany held Timmy's hand, gently swaying it.
With a playful smile, Timmy kept them in suspense, "It's good news!"
He led his brother with his left hand and his sister with his right, all the way to the balcony. The three of them sat in a circle on the carpet and that's when he cheerfully announced it.
