Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Hearing this, Sabrina was confused.
When it was time to cook, she went downstairs to help.
Claire and Lena were busy in the kitchen, diligently washing and chopping vegetables, while Tyrone and the others were cutting
the spare ribs.
There were only Wanda and the two children left in the Living room.
Sabrina observed Lena and Larry. Her gaze was shifting between them as Larry pickled chicken drumsticks. It was evident that
something was amiss between the couple. Their lack of communication spoke volumes.
Lena, in particular, avoided making eye contact with Larry. But Larry stole glances at Lena multiple times before quickly looking
away.
The dinner was a lavish affair, with a table filled with an abundance of delicious food.
At dinner time, the family gathered around the beautifully set round table. Each family member took their place one after another.
As they settled into their seats, Lena purposely chose a spot, indicating the seat next to Sabrina. “Add two children’s chairs here
so Frankie and Jennie can sit together.
Aware of her reluctance to sit with Larry, Sabrina nodded in agreement.
When Kira came downstairs, Jennie, engrossed in conversation with Frankie, had already taken a seat next to Sabrina.
As Kira approached the table, a hint of displeasure crossed her face.
While taking a seat beside Wanda, she said, “Jennie, come sit over here!”
Jennie raised her head and pursed her lips, displaying a hint of defiance. “Grandma, I want to sit here.”
Before Sabrina could say anything, Lena said, “Kira, let Jennie stay here with Frankie.”
She used her child as a pretext to support Sabrina.
Kira wanted to say more, but Wanda grabbed her wrist and said sternly, “Don’t make a fuss.”

Kira shot a cold glance at Sabrina, held back her words, and remained silent.
During dinner, Larry took the initiative to serve food to Lena, but she avoided making eye contact with him and refrained from
touching the food he offered.
Following their meal, the Blakely family convened in the Living room, where they played a game of cards.
Sabrina chose not to join them, opting to play airplane chess with Jennie at a separate table.
Soon, Frankie came over to play with Jennie. The two then dashed off to the yard, engrossed in their playful activities.
