It wasn't that I was afraid to face them, but their presence was definitely affecting my appetite. "Maddie, you're here. We've been waiting for you," Bree said cheerfully as she greetedwith a hug a gentle It was hard to refuse Bree's kindness, so I forced a smile and replied, "Bree, I thought it would be just us." "Well, it was just us... They... Bree pouted toward Chris and Jewel. "I ran into them unexpectedly." I didn't believe they had run into each other by chance, I wasn't a child anymore. I knew better than to believe that.

However, it was quite awkward that Jewel, Bree's future daughter-in-law, was left sitting there while Bree didn't even serve any food.
