Mainly, he thought this little girl, why does she always cry!
Even more than Abigail, the crybaby!
And Langston had an agreement with Abigail: they'd take turns comforting her. But every tAbigail picked her
up, the waterworks started. And when Langston took his turn, silence - she'd stop crying! Eventually, they had
no choice. Whenever Felicity Miller was brought over, Langston ended up being the one to soothe her.
He was practically developing a fear of child comforting!

"Okay!" Abigail nodded eagerly, then pouted, "But... Felicity doesn't like me. She only likes you!"
"Huh? Why?"
Abigail shrugged, "I don't know, but watch!"

Sure enough, before she could even lift her, Felicity started bawling!
"Brother, you try holding her!"
Langston was reluctant, but then Dorothy chimed in, "Langston, chere, please?"

She smiled, "You're both too young. It's all in jest for now. Who knows what the future holds?"
"Will I have my Prince Charming then?"
"Of course! My darling, you deserve the best Prince Charming." Dorothy hugged her daughter and kissed her.
Outside, Everett finished making the lemonade and walked in with it.
Seeing this harmonious scene, he smiled slightly.
"Who knows, Jeffrey's girl might really
look for our Langston." Dorothy
looked up at him, "After all, Karen is all about looks, and her daughter... will probably be the
And when it comes to looks, Langston was undeniably handsome.
