Scout’s Visit to the Quartermaine Mansion Was a Standout
Scout arrived at the Quartermaine mansion. However, she was not alone. She was with her stepmom, Willow Tait Cain, and there to ask Tracy Quartermaine for a favor.
She excitedly explained that she’d be spending more time at the estate over the summer after finally hitting a growth spurt. Scout hoped to use the Quartermaine lake to train for an upcoming charity swimming competition. She proudly mentioned that her father had prepared her well thanks to his Navy SEAL training.
The moment became even more touching when Scout revealed that the competition would raise money for breast cancer research in honor of Monica Quartermaine.
She also had one more request.
Scout wanted her father to be allowed onto the estate to watch her train. Tracy, clearly moved by her great-niece’s heartfelt reason, agreed. After all, how could Tracy say no to a kid who brought such spunk with her?
