Grant's voice cut through the air like a knife, "No way! You're not welcome here, and I sure as hell don't need you tagging along!"

Oliver rolled his eyes, not missing a beat. "I was talking to Josie, not you. Zip it."

The room plunged into awkward silence.

Josefina couldn't help but let out a laugh, her tears mingling with her amusement. Was Oliver seriously mimicking Grant's tone?

Grant was at a loss, stunned by Oliver's audacity and thick skin.

Meanwhile, Hayden munched on popcorn, thoroughly enjoying the drama.

"Alright, enough. Let's all head out together," Hayden finally chimed in, putting an end to the bickering.

With Hayden stepping in, Grant's objections were silenced.

So, the four of them set out to sea.

That day on the water was a unique experience for Josefina, feeling caught between a rock and a hard place.

Grant dove into the water to catch some giant crabs, knowing how much Josefina loved them. He presented them to her like prized jewels, basking in her praise.

Not to be outdone, Oliver also went after some seafood. The two men competed fiercely, while Hayden watched, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

"Josie, I can't believe you snagged Hellfire himself," Hayden said, shaking his head.
