Chapter 26

Jenny POV:

As we sat around the table, I couldn't resist the tempting dishes my father had prepared. Everyone kept filling my plate, urging me to try a little of everything. "Jenny, taste this," Aunt Cathy said, offering me a bite of her famous fried chicken.

"Jenny, try that," my father added, handing me a spoonful of his signature jollof rice. I indulged in each dish, savoring the flavors and textures, but soon my stomach began to protest. "I'm getting full," I said, laughing, but they just kept coming.

Finally, we finished eating, and my father suggested we head to the beach to enjoy the rest of the day. Aunt Cathy packed a few snacks, "just in case," she said with a smile. As we walked along the shore, the warm sand squished between my toes, and the salty air filled my lungs. I breathed deeply, feeling carefree and happy.
