Meeting the Grandparent

Summer smiled up at the man before her, her grin ecstatically overwhelming her face.

“You must be Summer” he said laughing slightly at her enthusiasm and her eager green eyes. “I’ve heard much about you.”

If possible Summer’s grin grew even bigger, till the corners of her lips were almost touching her ears.

“Yes, I’m Summer. Oh my it’s so nice to meet you Clint talks about you all the time and everything you’ve done. It’s a shame he really doesn’t get to see you more I know he misses you terribly. It really is a shame what happened.”

With that she shut her mouth abruptly and began to stare at a butterfly that passed as if she was done with the conversation.

She turned back to look at Clint. “That butterfly is very pretty I’m going to go play with it.” She said before walking away towards the butterfly.

“Clint” Cornelius said smiling and embracing his grandson whom he hadn’t seen in over six months.

A giggle emanated from Summer behind them and they turned around to see her cart wheeling about In the large front lawn laughing as if she were a child.

Watching Clint with knowing eyes Cornelius smiled.

“You told her” he said, a statement not a question.

Clint tore his eyes from his tumbling girlfriend and turned to his grandfather.

“I did” he said grinning

Cornelius laughed’ “I take it she received the information well then?” he said noting the expansive smile etched into his grandson’s features.

Clint turned back to look at Summer as she flung herself around in the perfectly manicured lawn.

“she’s beautiful, isn’t she” he said ignoring the question that both of them obviously knew the answer to by now.

Cornelius laughed loudly and turned his grandson to face him.

“As a man of 82, talking to his grandson about his barely 16 year old girlfriend. I feel it would be inappropriate for me to engage in this conversation. “

“Yes” Clint said as a laugh bubbled past his lips “yes it would.”

amazing chapter I love it alot keep the great work

[The Old Ashes]

I'm not quite sure about the "you told her" comment. I don't know if you are implying a mystery the reader will find out about later... but what I'm feeling is the meaning there is that Clint had told Cornelius previously that he loved Summer, and Cornelius was guessing by Summer's behavior that Clint had now told Summer he loved her.
I think.
I guess we'll see.. I like Cornelius's personality though. He seems kind of Gruff. Summer needs to settle down! Sheesh! so hyper! hah

It's okay to say she's beautiful. Just don't say she's sexy. Then its inappropriate.
What did Clint tell her? That he loves her, or something else? Something yet to be revealed, or something I missed? And what happened that was a shame?
A little confused, but still loving it.
Still anticipating the rest.
You will finish this book if I have to stand out in the cold all night to make you!
Threat!
Moo Haha.
I love Summer and Clint.
