He spun on his heel to Leave. On his way out, he called out to Jennie, Remember, Listen to Aunt Sabrina, alright?
Jennie gave a nod.

Its an event where a bunch of people gather to sip drinks together,
Sabrina clarified.
Can I join you there tomorrow? The girl was filled with curiosity, her gaze fixed on Sabrina with anticipation.
With a gentle smile, Sabrina replied, No.

Bun is here! Peering from behind the couch, Jennie scrutinized Bettie. Youre Bettie, right? Wow, youre so pretty!
Bettie, spotting Jennie, recognized her instantly. Drawing closer, she gushed, Youre Jennie, arent you? Youre so sweet.
She playfully tapped Bun a few times, suggesting, You can hang with Bun. Ill help your aunt in the kitchen.

She nudged Sabrina playfully, whispering, Sabrina, why havent you sent her home? hes staying the night with me.
Seriously? Bettie was surprised. Sneaking a glance outside the kitchen, she continued, Think about it. Considering shes Tyrones niece, if you keep being so close to her like this, youll never be able to distance yourself from him.
Sabrina stopped chopping.
She was all too aware of how intricate ties with Tyrone could become.
She even harbored thoughts that Tyrones plan might be to keep Jennie close and name her as the childs legal guardian, using the child as bait.
