It was a good and bright morning, and for the first time in many months everyone assembled at the dinning table to have breakfast like a family, including Joanna. Since after the loss of her child, she has withdrawn more from a lot of things, and had kept her bitchy attitude at the corner, which was a relief.
Marissa would be joining the family for breakfast for the very first time, so everyone knew that this was going to be a peaceful gathering as long as Joanna doesn't open her mouth to say anything stupid about her, or grandfather takes her place to do it instead, since it's obvious that he doesn't like her.
But Giovanni being Giovanni doesn't give a damn care about anything, his aim was to get her acquainted with everyone here since after their marriage, he's moving into his very own house with his wife. Staying here with these weapons of destruction called his family, was no good for Marissa.
