Chapter 40 - Mr. Williamson

(Tara's POV)

Breakfast has never been as emotional and exciting as this, as I watched Blake, Matthew, and Eric argue like children over a single slice of lemon pie left on the plate. They reminded me of us as we fought over the remaining piece of something on the table, whether a pie or pastry. Victor and Clarice would sneer at me as papa would always take it and give it to me. They would complain how unfair he was to others, but Mama would just laugh and would tell I was the kindest, so I deserved it as a treat.

Samantha rolled her eyes, saying she was already full, and Sean seemed not fond of the lemon pie. Even Nana Shea waved her hand as a sign of retreat, telling us she was full as well. My eyes squinted over the pie and the three guys in front of me.

“Fine!” Blake said, deciding for the three of them. “Whoever gets the pie first...” He made himself ready, same with Matthew and Eric.
