It was an invitation to Andrea and Holden's engagement gala. Felicia cared very little about the event. She casually tossed the card onto the coffee table, picked up her book, and resumed reading.
Max arrived home from work at seven o'clock. He had been getting off early these past few days, making a point to eat dinner at home. During the meal, Max noticed the lavish seafood spread on the table. "Who sent this?" he asked.
Felicia placed a cuttlefish onto Anne's plate. "My brother shipped it to us."
Max paused. "Your brother?"
"My biological brother," Felicia clarified.
Anne immediately chimed in. "Uncle sent me lots of yummy treats and little gifts too!"
Max smiled gently at his daughter. "Then you must be sure to thank him properly when you finally meet him."
"I just do not know when I will get to see him. Mommy says he is super busy," Anne sighed.
"Then we will just wait until he has free time," Max replied softly.
Anne nodded, but a sudden frown crinkled her tiny forehead. She turned to look at her mother. "Mommy, does that mean I have two uncles now? How am I supposed to call them?"
Felicia affectionately stroked Anne's head. "You can call them Big Uncle and Second Uncle."
"But who is older?" Anne pressed.
Felicia honestly was not sure. Her brother and Greg were likely very close in age, but she did not know the exact months. She would have to ask them about it later.
