Friends? I silently allowed her into the car, but she nearly got me killed!
My mind was racing, though I kept my face neutral as I stepped back to avoid her.
"I'm not feeling well, sorry," I said.
Disappointment flashed across her face, but she quickly resumed smiling.
My mother-in-law invited everyone to eat, considering the matter settled. My sister-in-law didn't dwell on it either, chatting warmly with Felicity.
Soren stayed by my side the entire time, not sparing Felicity a single glance.
During the meal, a fragrant bowl of chicken soup caught my attention.
Suddenly, a sharp, unpleasant odor wafted over, causing me to wrinkle my nose involuntarily.
Seeing my reaction, Soren assumed I was worried about the temperature.
"Darling, let me cool it down for you. Go ahead and drink," he said.
My sister-in-law chimed in with a laugh, "Why is the turkey leg so sweet today?"
I snapped back to reality, realizing something was off about this soup.
