Shawn nodded with a smile and left for the kitchen.

Ten minutes later, Matthew had woken up and Shawn took him in his arms. He was usually very nice to the boy. Matthew immediately recognized Shawn even though he hadn't seen him in a long time.

Wrapping his arms around Shawn's neck, he called his name affectionately, "Uncle Shawn!"

Shawn gave him a kiss on his nose and promised, "I'll take you out for some fun later."

But Julie cut in immediately, “Don't! The weather is very cold."
