"Tonight, Grandma, I prepared a feast just for you," Joie told Grace, urging her to eat.
Grace chuckled, patting Joie’s hand. "Bless your heart, dear."
Joie settled down next to Grace, glancing around the room until her eyes landed on Isaac and Brittany.
Brittany had not expected Joie to come to Grace so quickly. It was like she was following her script.
Daniel rushed over, wrapping Grace in a bear hug. "I've missed you."
Joie shifted uncomfortably at the sight of Daniel.
Ignoring her, Daniel continued to dote on Grace, his constant affection making her giggle.
Isaac and Brittany took their seats.
The housekeeper, Emily, had prepared a chicken pot pie for them, her specialty. Setting it on the table, she said, "Enjoy, Sir, Ma’am."
"Thank you, Emily," Brittany responded with a smile.
Emily had always been fond of Brittany. Now that she and Isaac were back together, her affection seemed to double.
"Be sure to eat plenty, Ma’am. It's good for you."
"Of course."
Brittany took a few bites, praising Emily's cooking. "This is delicious, Emily. Thank you."
Emily beamed at the compliment. "I'm glad you like it, Ma’am. I baked some cupcakes and other treats this afternoon. I'll pack them up for you to take home."
"Okay."
Joie watched their interaction with a sour expression. Emily was hardly warm towards her, but she treated Brittany like a queen. She was clearly trying to curry favor with her.
Joie served herself some of the pot pie, then turned to Isaac, attempting to butter him up. "Bro Isaac, I heard your new business venture is doing well. Do you think there's a place for me?"
