Oh her bones were getting weary these days with worry for her Granbabies. Adele was an old lady, alright but her mind was sharp and knew her granddaughter was one of those who attracted more trouble and bad attention than a june bug attracted by the warm summer sun. No end of times had she stayed up waiting for Sookie to come home from working at Merlotte's until 2 or 3 in the morning, making sure that her girl got home safe. Ever since her friends had suddenly been passing through town did Adele appreciate the help she'd had.
Extra mouths to feed were nice for a change and watching Sook with that lovely young pregnant lady had been wonderful too, even putting a bit more colour in Sookie's cheeks and Adele's own. She did miss her house full with the sound of children's laughter and wondered whether she'd be long buried in the earth before that girl settled for a man. She knew only time would wait for Susannah to find her heart.
Though there was that young boy, Jake. He was a different story. It'd only taken Adele a look in his eye to see that he was carrying the weight of something awful heavy on his back, something she knew all too well, Adele thought secretly. She was pottering about her kitchen as always she did when Sookie was at work and thought about her that look in the young boy's eye, wondering what on earth it would be to rob a man so young of his innocence and hope.
