Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Lena got totally stumped by Josefina's question and was a bit peeved.

Hattie gave Lena's hand a reassuring pat and said, "Josie's right on the money. Why would we ever kick you to the curb? You're the kid I watched grow up. You just keep on living here like always."

"Let's chow down. Josie just woke up. She must be starving. And Lena just got back. Let's get started with breakfast."

Hattie treated everyone equally, but it made Lena feel like now that Hattie had her own flesh and blood, all her focus was on her. Lena totally forgot that Josefina went eighteen years without parental love and care, and she surely needed it more than ever now.
