Yara’s PovI knew exactly what Kennedy was doing, and I had been counting on it from the very beginning. Every glance she threw Daniel’s way, every deliberate smile, every carefully timed gesture was part of a game she understood well. I did not stop her. Instead, I made sure to support her openly and without hesitation.While Judy was still sitting stiffly at the table, I spoke up calmly. “Since Kennedy is here to work,” I said, “she can start by handling Ryker’s daily drop-offs and pick-ups.”The room went very still.Kennedy’s eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded with enthusiasm. “I can do that. I don’t mind at all.”I turned my face slightly toward Daniel, making sure he could see my expression. I did not hide my approval. “Thanks to Kennedy joining us,” I added deliberately, “I finally feel at ease.”Daniel looked pleased, almost indulgent. He leaned back in his chair and smiled. “Of course,” he said. “It’s actually a good way to get Kennedy to learn the ropes on pack affairs.”
