A young woman, probably in her early twenties, strolled in with Claire, and they settled on the sofa opposite Selena. The woman positioned herself directly across from Selena, who casually glanced at her and greeted, "Aunt Claire."

You're looking a bit too thin." Selena gave a faint smile. "Thanks. I'll make sure to eat a lot."

Selena rolled her eyes but still peeled a few segments and popped them in his mouth.
