sonny asked, “I’m really happy, Uncle Tatt.

But why do you have to work so far away? Why doesn’t your boss give you a break? Doesn't everyone get a holiday during the New Year? Even my mom's coming back soon.” In Sonny’s eyes, his mom was always the busiest person, so if she was coming home for the holidays, he assumed everyone else should be able to take a break too.

He couldn't imagine that some people still had to work.

Tatum explained, “I have to work far away because I need to earn money.

I don't want to have money problems, so I’m skipping the holiday.” “Uncle Tatt, talk to my Uncle Zack later.

Good night, Uncle Tatt.” Sonny said his goodnight and was gently led away by Serenity.
