“Oh, and Arabella too. You should all join us,” Naomi offered, making sure to include everyone.

“No, thanks. If I show up, it’ll just kill the mood,” Arabella replied flatly.

Naomi shifted uncomfortably. She hadn’t expected Arabella to be so direct.

Truth be told, she hadn’t really wanted to invite Arabella in the first place–that was why she’d mentioned her last.

She only extended the invitation because she didn’t want the others to think she was deliberately leaving Arabella out.

“Fine, don’t come. It’s not like anyone actually wants you there,” Ruby muttered under her breath, then added with a sneer, “At least you’re self–aware enough to know nobody likes you.”

Arabella shot her a cool glance. “Seems to me you’re the one nobody can stand.”

“Ruby, could you just keep quiet for a minute?” Sophia snapped, her patience clearly wearing

thin.

“Whatever. You all stay and eat. I’m heading home with Naomi.” With that, Ruby grabbed Naomi’s arm and marched out of the room.

“That girl, I swear…” Sophia sighed, looking completely drained.

Florence tried to soothe her. “Let them go. They’ve been close since they were kids. Maybe Naomi can talk some sense into her.”

“Come on, let’s dig in,” Jonathan said, trying to lighten the mood.

Liam let out a low sigh. “Jonathan, I really envy you. Arabella’s so thoughtful and well- mannered.”

“Don’t say that. Ruby just needs a little guidance–she’ll come around eventually,” Jonathan reassured him.

“Arabella, here–try this. It’s your favorite,” Ethan said as he placed a serving on her plate.

“Thanks, Ethan,” Arabella replied with a soft smile.

Frank glanced toward Arabella. “You know, if you really don’t want to go to Naomi’s dinner, you don’t have to force yourself.”

“Yeah, I know.” Arabella nodded, still smiling gently.

“She might still be working through some things. Give her time–it’ll sort itself out,” Frank offered comfortingly.

Arabella didn’t seem bothered in the slightest. “Frank, really, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”

After all, she wasn’t the one upset–so of course it didn’t bother her.

“What’s all this about?” Liam asked, looking genuinely confused. He felt like he’d missed part of the conversation.

It’s nothing serious,” Frank explained calmly. “Probably just because Naomi and Ruby have heen tight, so the sisters have drifted a little. Don’t worry, Uncle–it’ll work itself out

Yeah, let’s eat.”

The table soon filled with lively conversation and warmth, wrapping everyone in a comfortable, family atmosphere.

On the other side of town, Naomi and Ruby had already left Cloudrise Manor.

“Naomi, you were way too nice to her back there. It almost looked like you were scared of her,” Ruby grumbled, still irritated.

“Ah,” Naomi sighed softly. “Ruby, when are you going to learn to hold back a little?

“That temper of yours–how many times has it landed you in hot water?” Why couldn’t she ever just keep herself in check?

Ruby paused, then replied with a hint of frustration, “You’re right, Naomi. I think because I haven’t been sleeping well lately, I just can’t seem to control my reactions. Sometimes after I argue with her and lose my cool, I regret it later. But the second I see her, it all just boils over again.”

Naomi studied Ruby closely. “You really haven’t been looking well. You should take the medicine she gave you–and on time–so you can get better.”
