Heaven and Earth

After Jackson's fall and the drama he pulled off in the living room, the family spent dinner together. Irene gave Jackson extra attention, almost spoiling him with food. Seeing that he genuinely enjoyed her cooking and the side dishes, she happily offered more. Elijah and Fil, on the other hand, were equally amazed and puzzled at how well Jackson got along with their parents so well and so quickly. 

They were as though treating a long-lost son. Not that it warranted their envy. If anything, Elijah was just glad his attention wasn't on him. Fil was relieved that Jackson seemed pleased with her parent's company and care. 

When they finished their meal, Irene hurriedly cleaned Elijah's room and changed all the sheets and pillowcases. She made sure everything was clean. Meanwhile, Fil had to borrow her father's clothes for Jackson to use for the night since Elijah's clothes were too small for him.
