395 An Especially Sharp One

Jennica nursed Logan on a park bench as she kept a close eye on the three children playing on the playground. Kaleb, normally one to wander off with new friends, stuck close to his sister's side as they dug around in the sand.

Her heart ached at the thought. He was being overprotective of his sister since news about his mom was up in the air. Poor kid.

She couldn't blame Alice for bungling things though; sometimes kids got ideas that refused to go away by reading between the lines. Violet was an especially sharp one that way. She saw right through to the heart of the matter whenever something happened.

Jennica wondered where she got it from. Her mother was book smart but fairly dense when it came to things like that. She had been the last person to know Ryan liked her, after all. What ever happened to him, anyway? They lost contact after Keeley rejected him in favor of Aaron.
