Dominic sank into his chair, his voice a low rumble, “You guys nearly ran Josefina over. Trust me, she’s not the type to just shrug that off. Do you even know who hit Shay?”
“Of course I do! I’m not letting Josefina get away with this. I’ve got the police on it, and my own crew is digging into it too. The second we have proof, she’s done for!”
Dominic sighed, “You should really be looking out for yourself. She’s already gone after Shay; you’re next on her list.”
Sydney glared, “So now you’re cursing me? Dominic, you’ve really changed.”
“I’m just saying, keep your eyes peeled. Don’t accuse me of being petty just because you are.”
Rising to his feet, Dominic made to leave.
“Dominic, she’s your sister! You’re just going to walk away?”
“We’re half-siblings. Same mom, different dads. We’re not close, no need to play happy family here.”
Dominic left, leaving Sydney fuming, her face twisted with anger.
...
Josefina arrived home to find everyone waiting for her to start dinner.
After a quick wash, she joined them at the table.
“Mom, Dad, Dorian, Reid, you should've started without me. No need to wait and go hungry because of me.”
Hattie chuckled, “We weren't hungry, just waiting to eat with you. It’s like we’re all in sync.”
Everyone nodded and smiled, agreeing with the sentiment.
Garrett patted his stomach, insisting he wasn’t hungry at all.
“Josefina, let’s dig in. You must be starving,” Garrett urged.
“Hey sis, have some coconut water,” Dorian offered.
“Thanks.”
Josefina picked up her fork, ready to dive into the meal.
The tomato and egg stir-fry was irresistible, followed by a hearty serving of potato stew and some seafood dumplings.
She patted her stomach, feeling pleasantly full.
