Janiya’s gaze bore into her as she rose, approaching Maggie. “Are you Maggie Shear?”
“Yes, I am,” Maggie replied, the note of obedience clear in her voice.
“Mom...”
Sanford attempted to intervene, but Janiya cut him off, “Quiet.”
Her focus returned to Maggie as her hand lifted, Landing a slap on Maggie’s face.
Taken aback, Maggie brought a hand up to her stinging cheek, staring at Janiya in disbelief.
