Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Josefina glanced at the delivery receipt and couldn't help but notice how little had been bought—it seemed pretty stingy, honestly. Spending the Harrison family's money without wanting to spend on the Harrisons themselves was just tacky.

Ryan felt a wave of secondhand embarrassment for Lena. How could Miss Josefina be proud of such a meager seafood haul? It was practically insulting.

Clearing his throat, Ryan said, "So, all that fresh seafood we saw earlier wasn't actually for Miss Josefina. When those folks came by offering it to her, I assumed it was for Miss Lena."
