Hey, Isabella.

Hi, Connor.

Excited to see Uncle Jeff tomorrow?

....no, not really.

Oh? How come?

I'm scared he'll leave me alone like mom and dad and-

Hey, hey! Jeff wants a better life for you, right? He won't leave you, not ever!

Really?

Yes! He loves you!

Well, i'm going to get supper going. Anything specific you want?

No, I'm fine.
