Sera was sitting across the table busily eating and discussing currents events with Madeline, she hadn't really been paying too much attention to what her sister was doing. When her father spoke, Sera's head jolted immediately up towards him, he sounded pretty serious. She looked over towards Tatum considering a remark about her table manners but decided against it. She actually felt pretty embarrassed for Tatum there were tons of people around and she wasn't exactly a kid.

Madeline looked up from her conversation with Sera at the same time. "Your father's right Tatum eat your potatoes. There are starving children all over the world who would love a meal like this." She looked over at he stepdaughter for a few seconds and then just picked up her fork and started eating again.

Sera reached her foot under the table and bumped Tatum's leg trying to get her attention.
