Few hours later, at the dining table, Silas was just getting up from his seat after he was done taking his breakfast. Alex and Kim were almost done with theirs.
"I will drop Alex off at school?," Silas said to Kim.
"Ok," Kim replied, as she cleaned up the dining table.
"Alex, go get your school backpack." Alex nodded and grabbed his backpack from the sofa, and walked towards Silas.
Silas looked at Alex and gestured to him to come closer, so that he can he dress his hair and straighten his clothes.
"Let's go," Silas said and grabbed Alex's hand, and left the house.
Outside, Silas and Alex walked towards the Corvette and got in, and Silas drove off.
On the way to Alex's school, Silas noticed Alex's unusual silence. Unlike before when Alex would be smiling and happily chatting with Silas in the car, Alex was unusually quiet and he had a very familiar expression on his face. An expression that he was familiar with and understood its meaning.
