Promise Of Surprise
As the anticipation thickened, I leaned in with a playful smile and promised a treat. “I’ve got something special up my sleeve that I guarantee you’ll enjoy,” I teased, watching interest spark across the table. My plan was in motion, every piece perfectly in place. Eyes lit up with curiosity, ready for a lighthearted twist—completely unaware of the truth about to surface. Vince, still at ease, chuckled and leaned back, assuming this was all part of some harmless family fun. Oh, how wrong he was.

Vince Remains Relaxed
Vince took a slow, relaxed sip, completely at ease, convinced this was nothing more than lighthearted dinner chatter. He laughed along with Maya’s banter, his posture loose, unaware of the shift about to come. I watched in silence, fully aware that the comfort he enjoyed was on the verge of collapse. Around us, the family seemed to sense something was building—leaning in, eyes darting between Vince and me like an audience caught in a gripping scene. This was the final hush before the storm broke loose.
