Travis Withdraws from Connection
Following the downtown incident, the Herolds decided to limit Travis’s outings, sacrificing work time to ensure his presence at home. One evening, as they sat down for dinner, it was evident that Travis was sullen, turning his back to Jerry despite sitting next to him. Sandy and Jerry made concerted efforts to engage Travis and lift his spirits.
They attempted to cheer him up by showing off Jerry’s newly fixed tooth.
Initially despondent, Travis eventually couldn’t resist and joined the game. He pointed at Jerry’s tooth, his demeanor bouncing excitedly as he leaned into Jerry’s chest. Sandy encouraged him to show his teeth as well, and with puckered lips, he revealed his shiny, white teeth while looking up at Jerry. This playful interaction brought a moment of joy and connection within the family.
