Learning from Kevin
Kevin's advice echoed in my ears as I tried to make sense of it all. "Keep your eyes open and don't get ahead of yourself," he had said, and every time those words popped into my head, I couldn't help but nod in agreement. His words acted as a strong anchor, holding me in place against the sudden flood of interest from my family. With Kevin's backing, it became my top priority to find out their true intentions.

Invitation to dinner
The phone rang again and pulled me out of my thoughts. It was Mom: "We're having a family dinner on Saturday. Can you come?" Her voice was sweet as sugar, almost contradictory to the years of absence. My first impulse was to say no, but curiosity throbbed inside me. I hadn't been to a family reunion for years, and maybe this dinner would shed some light on what they were really up to. So I agreed, eager to see what I would find out.
