Final answer:
The question appears to be related to a piece of literature or a historical novel featuring characters named Grant and Jefferson, possibly reflecting on their roles, feelings, and relationships, but lacks sufficient detail for an accurate response.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question seems to be about conversations and handshakes related to leadership and relationships in a historical context, but the referenced individuals Grant, Jefferson, and Adams are from different periods, and the phrasing seems to imply a novel or literary work rather than actual historical events. It is not possible to provide an accurate answer because the question contextually suggests it's about a character named Grant, possibly from a literature or history-inspired novel, and there is insufficient information to identify the source material correctly. Perhaps, the question relates to the novel 'A Lesson Before Dying' by Ernest J. Gaines, where a character named Grant Wiggins forms a relationship with Jefferson, another key character. Without further clarification or the correct source material, I cannot provide a confident answer.
