Chapter 3
Thanks JennDur for beta'ing for me.
"Need some help, Mom?" She didn't hide the shock on her face when I asked. Though it may have been because I was not only willingly speaking but in normal clothes. I had changed into jeans and shirt that wasn't three sizes too big and free of stains, but skipped the makeup. I also said screw it when it came to my hair. Just because Dad wanted to drag over the future tribe chief didn't mean I had to impress him.
"Sure, sweetie," she smiled. "Can you set the table?" I did as she asked, purposely putting the extra place setting on the side of the table Seth always sat. Just as I finished, my dad, Sam and my brother walked in complimenting how good all the food smelled.
As Mom and I brought out the food out I spotted Seth in my seat. Setting the basket of bread down, I told him to get lost.
"Now, Leah," Dad piped up, give me an imploring look. "You know that's where your brother always sits. Come on over and sit between Sam and I."
