Breakfast at the dining table the following morning was nothing short of 'interesting.'
Kalina and Mia both wore frowns, though for different reasons, occasionally casting pointed glares at Dominique. The tension was palpable, their expressions tight and their eyes flashing with a mix of irritation and slight anger.
"Good morning, Mi Familiar," Nikolas greeted, entering last with a casual stride. "And a very special morning to my realest sister-in-law," he added, addressing Kalina. She looked at him with evident confusion, her brows furrowing and her lips slightly parted in surprise.
"You're late," Joline remarked pointedly, her posture upright and her gaze sharp. "And don't you mean 'newest' sister-in-law?" she corrected, raising an eyebrow in question.
