James feels a deep sense of gratitude toward Cody after Cody saved his life in a dangerous situation. To James, Cody is not just an older friend but a true hero whom he deeply respects. James begins to think about how he can repay this life-saving favor, not just through words but through actions. The young boy wants to show his appreciation by helping Cody in small ways in everyday life. From assisting him with small tasks to always being there when Cody needs him, James continuously looks for opportunities to express his gratitude. He hopes that, in this way, he can become an important part of Cody's life, just as Cody has been a hero in his.
James also starts to notice that the relationship between Cody and Sasha is growing stronger than ever before. Each time they are together, James can see the special emotional connection between them. The smiles, loving looks, and mutual care between Cody and Sasha make James realize that their love is quickly blossoming. Initially, James might have thought that Cody was just his companion during horseback riding lessons, but now he clearly sees that Cody and Sasha are becoming a close couple. Although he feels a bit strange seeing this change, he is genuinely happy for Cody. He understands that Cody has found happiness with Sasha, and that makes James happy too. He also realizes that, despite Cody and Sasha's deepening romantic relationship, Cody always makes time for James, ensuring that he never feels left out or forgotten. James admires how Cody and Sasha care for and respect each other, which helps him understand more about love and the bond between adults.
As James continues to witness Cody and Sasha's relationship growing deeper, he unintentionally holds an important secret about Sasha. Although he doesn't mean to meddle in adult affairs, James's innocent nature leads him to reveal the secret to Cody. Surprisingly, this revelation becomes a catalyst that further strengthens the bond between Cody and Sasha. They begin to open up to each other even more, transforming their friendship into a true love story. But that's only part of the story.
James plays a vital role not only in bringing Cody and Sasha closer but also in reconnecting Cody with his father, Mac. The father-son relationship, strained by past secrets and misunderstandings, begins to heal thanks to James's innocence and sincerity. The young boy creates small but meaningful moments that help Mac and Cody gradually bridge the gap between them. James often tells Mac about the good deeds Cody has done and how Cody has become a hero in his eyes, prompting Mac to re-evaluate his relationship with his son. Through his seemingly small actions, James becomes the bridge that helps Mac and Cody start rebuilding their father-son relationship. The bond between them is strengthened not only through conversations but also through the little moments that James unintentionally orchestrates.
Cody slowly begins to accept Mac's presence in his life, and Mac, in turn, starts to see Cody with the love and regret of a father who has missed out on years of connection. As Cody's relationship with Sasha grows, so does the complexity of his life as Mac's sincere involvement adds another layer to it. Cody must now navigate not only his feelings for Sasha but also the responsibilities and expectations from a father he is just beginning to connect with. James, with his pure heart and ability to bring people together, becomes an indispensable factor in fostering these crucial relationships in Cody's life.
