Hey there , Sophial " ] Seeing me , she didn't avoid anything Instead , she looped her arm through Declan's : " We were just about to eat . Want to join us ? " ] I kept my expression cold . Just as I was about to speak , I saw Marcus emerging from the kitchen . ] And there on the floor was a fat , huge black cat . ] Seeing my silence , Jenna stuck out her tongue awkwardly and sheepishly let go of Dedan : ] " Your wife is upset again . " She shrugged helplessly at me ] " Marcus and I are getting married next month . " * Since we're all here , why don't we eat together tonight- " ] " No thanks . " Declan cut her off coldly . He stepped forward and grabbed my wrist. " Sophia's not hungry . " He snatched the baseball bat from my hands . [ ] And threw it hard onto the ground . Clang I jumped .
