Stella and Susanna glanced over together. Approaching them was Sirena Patel, flanked by two unfamiliar faces.

Susanna's mood soured instantly at the sight of Sirena.

Sirena was besties with Ursula and had a thing for Jaxon. Ever since Ursula left two years ago, she and Stella had been at odds, though Sirena always found herself on the losing end in their encounters. Sirena strutted up to Stella, "How did you get in here? Got an invite?"

Susanna quickly stepped in front of Stella, "An invite? Since when do you call the shots in the Patel family?"

Sirena snorted with laughter, "I may not be in charge, but I know for a fact she didn't get an invite."

The invites had been Sirena's project with her mother. They'd sent one to the entire Larkin family, including Ursula, deliberately leaving Stella's name out.

Sirena's voice dripped with disdain. The pastry section, filled with youngsters, watched the drama unfold with eager eyes.
