Sam Turner clearly didn't like what he said. As a man, how could he say something so irresponsible?
What does he mean by "I also want to know?" Doesn't he know that he can control his own feelings in a relationship?
It wouldn't be until many years later that Sam would understand the truth he couldn't grasp at that moment - that sometimes, you just can't control your emotions!
Then, William Griffith glanced at the boy beside him and smiled warmly, "You're still young and don't understand some things yet. But as a man, I have to tell you, be good to my sister Hailey."
Sam was taken aback by his words, his cheeks flushed, and he turned away not looking at him, mumbling, "What do you mean be good to her? I don't understand."
William didn't expose him, sometimes he really envied these younger kids.
