Meant for me

"Wow, Grandma, how can you be this energetic?! You're amazing!"

"Haha! You little boy! You flatter me!"

"But I'm telling the truth! Grandma, what kind of food do you eat? I think I should add them to my diet!"

"Hahaha!"

The lively voices from the courtyard were the first thing that struck Dean's ears as he approached. But when he stepped out and saw who was there, he froze. His eyes first landed on Old Mrs. Pierson, fully geared up for a morning workout. Beside her was the charming Slater Bennet, showering her with compliments.

Slater was complimenting Old Mrs. Pierson so much that anyone listening would wonder if he was serious. It sounded ridiculous, and one would think he was being insincere. Yet, Old Mrs. Pierson was laughing heartily as if she didn't mind at all.

It was a sight Dean had never seen before.
