Renee Jennings sat on a pile of leaves, gnawing on her steamed bun and pickled vegetables. Directly across from her was Naomi Kenway's lavish spread of food.
Renee Jennings huffed and took another vicious bite of her steamed bun. Watching Naomi Kenway live in comfort was almost more than she could bear.
"Mom, I'm a little thirsty. This bun is so dry..."
Nathan Lynch coughed a couple of times.
Renee Jennings's eyes lit up. 'This is my chance to show off the water filtration I practiced!' She quickly stood up and straightened her clothes. "Just a moment, Mona. Mom will go get you some water."
Chelsea Raines always sided with Renee Jennings. She and her son were also gnawing on steamed buns. They were still soft, not yet a day old, but compared to Naomi Kenway's food, they left a bitter taste in her mouth.
"A fool's luck..." Chelsea Raines muttered under her breath.
Jared Woods stared at Naomi Kenway's canned food, practically drooling.
