Zenia woke up when she heard the sound of laughter. She felt better after her nap. Vaughn was nowhere in sight, and she surmised that he was among those people who were laughing earlier. She could hear her father, big brother, and…Ruvin.
She sat up on her bed and crossed her legs. She took a deep breath and exhaled. She repeated it a few more times until she calmed down, and her mood became lighter. It was rare for her Big Brother to laugh like that, and he was laughing with Ruvin.
'I really underestimated you.'
Zenia went down and saw Zekiah sitting alone in the dining area and eating junk food. He was in deep thought and there was a need for Zenia to tap his shoulder to make him notice her.
"Zenzen, you're awake! I went to your room earlier to wake you up, but you were snoring. You must be very tired."
"I don't snore! Watch your words. I am so pissed, but I know I need to calm down." Zenia took one of Zekiah's bags of chips and opened it.
