“Shall we pray? Do you pray before dinner?” Mrs. Steel asked Jovita.
“Not really, but never too late to start,” Jovita said, taking Mr. Steel’s hand on the one side and Mrs. Steel’s hand on the other side, watching as Jessica does the same.
‘I thought it will be a great way to get to know you. We will be like best friends, no; sisters!’ Jovita mind linked Jessica back.
Jessica snorted while her father was praying, making her parents open their eyes, looking at Jovita, thinking it was her as they know Jessica took prayer seriously. Jessica’s parents close their eyes again and her father continued his prayer.
‘I have a best friend and I enjoy being an only child,’ Jessica mind linked Jovita.
‘Why are you so stubborn?’ Jovita asked, about to search Jessica’s mind for the answer.
Jessica saw her actions and shut Jovita out, not wanting her to know that she blamed her parents for Wynn’s death.
“Amen,” Mr. Steel said, ending his prayer.
