“Ronald, Alice, try this.” Sophia said, looking especially pleased with herself.

She was probably the most smug person at the whole table.

Every so often, he would serve Carmen some of her favorite dishes. “Just focus on eating,” he told her.

“Okay, Daxton,” Carmen said, lifting her plate, her eyes flashing with a calculating light.

Sophia was basically a walking time bomb. Anyone who messed with her would get dogpiled by everyone.
