Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

"Josie, I swear, Oliver's dad-my own flesh and blood-is such a headache. From now on, he's history as far as Oliver's concerned, and you won't have to deal with him either. Trust me, I won't let this hot mess affect you or Oliver. You won't have to worry about a thing."

With a mix of laughter and tears, Josefina clarified, "Grandpa Brandon, you've got it all wrong. Oliver and I aren't an item." She had nothing to do with Oliver.

"Josie, just because there's nothing now doesn't mean there won't be something in the future, right?"

Brandon's words left Josefina blushing, and just then, Oliver showed up. "Grandpa, are you here to see Josie? Why didn't you give me a heads-up?"

"What's it to you? Is Josie your girl now? Do I need your permission to see her?"

Brandon shot Oliver a look that silently teased, "Can't believe you still haven't won Josie over. You're useless."

Oliver ignored Brandon's jab, his gaze settling on Josefina. "Have you eaten?"

She nodded.
