Chapter 60: Served (part 2)

Ravina felt the uneasiness that followed Saul's statement. While Malachi and Saul stared at each other, the other brothers looked uncomfortable. 

"Alright. Let's eat." Araminta said and sat to Malachi's right. "Please, sit Ravina." She told her and Ravina sat across from her. 

Mia helped serve around but the men helped themselves mostly. Araminta grabbed the pot of soup that Ravina made and poured some into Malachi's bowl. "Thank you," he said picking up his spoon. 

"Ravina made it," she smiled just as he was about to pick it up with his spoon. 

He paused for a moment then without looking at any of them he proceeded. Ravina watched as he sipped the soup and tasted it. His expression remained the same and he picked some more. 

So it was alright she guessed? 

His mother smiled and poured some for Ravina and to herself. Araminta tasted it before her and Ravina could see that her expression changed but she tried to hide it.
