Sheila's POVDinner was served, and though the table was filled with smiles and laughter, the atmosphere was far from perfect. We all sat around, pretending we belonged in this picture-perfect family, but deep down, we all knew the cracks were visible to anyone paying attention.Grandma, always the one to keep the peace, cleared her throat. "Mia, are you enjoying the meal?" she asked with a smile, her eyes filled with gentle curiosity.Mom smiled back warmly. "Yes, it’s delicious. Everything tastes great."But from across the table, Gwen muttered just loud enough for everyone to hear, her words dripping with sarcasm. "Well, of course, she would like the food. She probably never eats anything like this anywhere else."The room fell silent for a moment.

"Gwen, be very careful with your words."Simeo
