1.7: The Lost Son
(Even though the holidays were quickly approaching, the days passed slowly for Shawn and he wasn’t excited about anything. When Mrs. Carr called David Stevens to invite him and his wife to her pre-Christmas Eve party, he almost turned her down. When he explained why she told him to bring Shawn by. She thought a few friends might make the transition easier for Shawn. Then she invited Tina and Kenny’s parents to bring them along and explained why. As her pre-Christmas Eve party was usually her one ‘adult’ event of the year and usually the kids were regulated to baby sitters.)
Mrs. Carr: Erika, Tina, Kenny, this is Stacy’s brother Shawn.
Kids: Hi Shawn.
(The kids stared at each other for awhile, unsure of what to say next.)
Mrs. Carr: Why don’t you take him up to your room to play?
Erika: Want to Shawn?
Shawn: I guess.
