Naomi noticed that something was off. Heather usually greeted her with a bright smile. What was with the grim look today?
Naomi greeted her. After Heather came closer, she took Naomi’s hand and whispered, “The Sabella family is here. Be prepared, Naomi.”
Naomi smiled. No wonder Heather looked nervous.
After warning Naomi, Heather turned to Brendan. “Brendan, your grandfather intends to ease the relationship between our families. Don’t argue with your grandfather later.”
