He gave another chuckle and slapped Paul on the back so gregariously you’d think they’d been friends forever. “Now about this calling me Mister Klaussner…” Sidney suggested Paul call him Uncle Sid and Carmella, Aunt Carmi. “How’s that sound?”
“It sounds real good,” Paul answered.
Before they sat down to dinner, Carmella took Anita, Olivia, Paul, and Jubilee on a tour of the house. Ethan Allen stayed behind because he was once again questioning Sidney on the facts of the robbery. As they started up the stairs toward the bedrooms, Olivia heard Sidney laugh again.
“I swear, keep this up, Ethan Allen, and someday you’re gonna make a darn fine lawyer.”
Years later Olivia would remember those words and smile. She’d wonder if Sidney Klaussner was the person who set Ethan Allen down on the pathway that would change countless lives.
Of course all of that is in the distant future. Today there is only laughter, happiness, and a table laden with more food than Jubilee Jones had ever seen before.
