The grandfather explains how genuine happiness is built through relationships, values, and legacy rather than money, prestige, or reputation. Through observations of Elliot’s parents—laughter absent, conflict present—the prologue contrasts different kinds of love and shows Elliot’s desire to make others proud while grappling with what adulthood and ambition may cost.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright © 2026 by Harlow James All rights reserved.  \nNo part of this publication may be reproduced, distributed, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, recording, or other electronic or mechanical methods, without the prior written permission of the publisher, except as permitted by U.S. copyright law.

But kindness is the best way to brighten someone’s day. Remember, you never know what’s going on in someone else’s life, but offering them a simple smile or wave could turn their entire day around.”  \n“Is that why Grandma smiles at everyone too?”  \nHe glances down at me once we arrive at the eggs.“No, son. She is the reason I smile at everyone.” My grandfather inspects a carton of eggs, checking for cracked shells.  \n“She taught you to smile at people?”  \nHe laughs.“Not directly, but yes. Your grandmother has changed my life in many ways, and how I view the world is just one of them. That’s why I love her so much and will defend her to the ends of the earth.”  \n“Like a knight in shining armor?”  \nHe winks at me.“Something like that.”  \n“I hope I find a girl like Grandma one day,” I say, naivety prompting the thought. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed a stark difference between the way my grandparents treat one another and the way my parents coexist.  \nMom and Dad don’t laugh together. Sometimes they barely speak. All Dad does is work, and Mom lets him do whatever he wants. She’s always at home alone or going to lunch with friends. But my parents never spend time together.  \nAnd sometimes, I hear them argue. But my father always wins.  \nHe doesn’t like to lose.  \nHe doesn’t like when I lose either.  \n“I know you will, Elliot. You have the ability to see people for who they truly are,” Grandpa says before leaning down, closer to my ear.“And I’d like to think that you got that from me.”  \nI smile up at him. “I just want to make you proud, Grandpa.
