Chapter 21 Let Tammy Play At My Place

They concluded that Matthew had autism. “I‘m sorry, I didn‘t mean to intrude.” Anna apologized, “I‘ll pay for this meal as an apology.

Wayne came to his senses and could see that she was genuinely sorry. He also realized that his reaction was too strong considering that she had saved Matthew. He softened his tone and said, “Matthew can speak. He just chose not to.”

Anna nodded and did not ask any further.

At the play area, Matthew sat among the sea of colorful balls and looked worried when he could not find Tammy.

Suddenly Tammy jumped up from under the balls and laughed, “I’m here!” Matthew was startled as if this was the first time he had played with another kid.

Tammy was stunned, “What‘s wrong, buddy?” Matthew shook his head, grabbed her hand, and pointed to the table. Tammy nodded, “Are you hungry? Let‘s go!” Matthew insisted on sitting with Anna at the table regardless of what Wayne said.

“Let him sit with my mommy since he likes my mommy so much. I‘ll be fine here.” Tammy said.

Wayne then said, “His name is Matthew.” “Hi, Matthew.” Tammy nodded and asked again, “How old is Matthew?” “Five years old, his birthday is on August 14th,” Wayne said. Anna was stunned, the same day as Tammy? What a coincidence! “What about you?” Wayne asked. Tammy looked at Anna as she could not remember when her birthday was

Somehow Anna said that she was a month younger than Matthew, “Tammy was born on September 14th.”

Tammy and Matthew seemed to like the same type of food. They both like sweets. Tammy spoke as she ate while Matthew kept quiet. But they were both happy to see the desserts.

After lunch, both of them went to the play area again. Anna noticed that it was getting late and said, “Tammy, for the last time, we need to go home now.”

Tammy emerged from the sea of balls and said, “No, I want to play with Matthew.” “Tammy Gabriel,” Anna called her full name sternly whenever she was naughty.

Usually, Tammy would relent but this time Tammy ignored her and continued to play with Matthew

Anna stepped into the play area and carried her out, “Look at the time, it‘s time to go home.”

Tammy managed to grab Wayne‘s jacket and begged, “Sir, save me!”

Chapter 21 Let Tammy Play…

Wayne had set aside his entire day to accompany his son and did not mind how long he played. He swiftly carried Tammy in his arms and said, “It‘s all right for them to play a while longer.”

“It‘s okay.” Wayne smiled, “Tammy‘s really adorable and very active. It‘s a rare opportunity for them to play together.”

Tammy was very intelligent and seized the opportunity, “Then can mommy bring me to play at Matthew’s house?”
