Ronald's lips curled into an indulgent smile.

Nearby, Finley joked, "Wow, someone's getting protective of their brother? All that upbringing's paying off."

Stella rolled her eyes. "Focus on your food, will you?"

Finley pouted.

With a warm tone, he asked, "Feeling sick?"

Stella nodded. "Yeah, I wanna go home."
