    "Finally, the day hase. It hasn''t been easy, not at all," Shirley sighed with a sense of relief. "At long


    "Be, tomorrow I''ll be in top form, dressed in my sharpest, youngest-looking suit to show you off!"

    granddaughter-inw, the darling of the McMillian family—someone they can only envy. No one can


    rece your ce in our hearts, especially in Romeo''s."


    "Absolutely, at tomorrow''s homing banquet, I heard it''s going to be nationally televised. I will


    dere in front of everyone that you, Be, are the McMillian family''s and personally my most


    satisfactory, most beloved, and proudest daughter-inw!"


    "We''ll all be there early to support you, as a united front," Tomas said, his charm undiminished by his


    warm smile. "We''ll show everyone the esteemed ce you hold within the McMillian and Collins


    families."


    "Thank you all so much." Arabe''s heart swelled with emotion as she thanked them for their kindness.


    "Be, before the banquet starts tomorrow, can Ie over to Reflections Vi to see you?" Cathy


    asked eagerly.


    Her request was met with a firm "No," from Romeo, with a chilling tone.


    But Cathy was undeterred, her eyes pleading with Arabe for approval.


    "Anytime is fine by me."


    Arabe''s response made Cathy beam with excitement. "I''ll text you before I head out tomorrow!"


    Having said her piece, Cathy then turned to her older brother Jeffery and sister Luna, "Jeffery, Luna,


    let''s head over early tomorrow! See if there''s anything we can help with."


    "You just better not cause any trouble," Romeo interjected, doubtful of her assistance.


    "Hey! At least I can help with styling, makeup, carrying things, even holding up a dress hem!"

    Romeo hadn''t expected such a rapid warming of rtions between them and Arabe, who had only


    just met that evening.


    Their fondness for Arabe seemed to surpass even their blood-rted big brother.


    "See you tomorrow, Be," Cathy said cheerily, hurrying to open the car door for Arabe and buckling


    her in, essentially doing Romeo''s job for him.


    "Goodbye for now, Be," Cathy said with a sweet smile.


    Luna, too, smiled and waved goodbye to Arabe.


    "See you tomorrow, Be," Jeffery said respectfully.


    "Have you noticed our families have a simr vibe?"
