Changes

Hunter has paid for Hayden to have a housekeeper in the ensuing years.  His first housekeeper, Leta, unexpectedly retired when her daughter (Paige) and grandson (Rylan) moved in with her after Paige's divorce.  Rylan has permanent disabilities resulting from his birth (and must use a wheelchair) and the family received a large settlement; his father (Glenn) did not want to raise a disabled son; he surrendered his parental rights, but then absconded with the settlement funds, forcing Paige and Rylan to move in with Leta.  Leta recommended Paige as her replacement, mainly so Paige could have medical insurance for Rylan.  Because of Rylan's special needs, and Paige not being able to afford special schooling, Leta and Paige are [[homeschooling]] Rylan, though it leaves him without any friends.  (He also has no male who could possibly be a "father figure": Paige's father died unexpectedly her last year of high school, and her brother has been in and out of jail, forcing her to cut off ties with him.)

One day Paige was forced to bring Rylan to work as Leta could not babysit him that day.  Hayden unexpectedly saw Rylan at the dinner table; instead of being upset he actually started bonding with him, and over the next couple of days the two watched movies together.
