“Sissy!” Carmen yelled out and ran into my arms. “Wait, why did you bring a suitcase?” She pointed at Vernon, who shrugged his shoulders.

“Siena and I are staying here for a while. Please don’t ask.” I replied as I pushed the suitcase in her hand and made my way over to grab Siena’s car seat. “Is she sleeping?” Carmen pouted.

I followed Lita to the living room and looked at my little brother, Luke-who stared at me with frowned eyebrows. “Did you dump Christian?” He boldly asked while my mom and Carmen gave him a look. “I’m sorry.” He apologized and held his hands in the air.
