“Now we need the little lady.”

Ozy adjusted Oaklynn on his lap before gently opening her mouth.

“Come on, mama. Open up.”

She immediately turned her head and started fussing.

“It’s okay, baby,” I said, putting down the knife. “It’s not going to hurt.”

Ozy held her still while Faizon swabbed the inside of her cheek. Oaklynn whined and tried to push his hand away, but she eventually calmed down once he finished.

“There we go,” Faizon said. “All done.”

He placed her swab inside another container and sealed it as well.

“That’s all you have to do?” I asked.

“Yeah, it’s a quick process. The lab handles everything else.” He removed his gloves and gathered his materials. “I’ma let y’all get back to breakfast. I’ll email the results to Ozy.”

“Okay… well, thank you again,” I told him.

“No problem.”

He disposed of his gloves, dapped Ozy up, and headed out.

Uncle Marcus glanced at Oaklynn before looking between Ozy and me.

“This your little girl?” he asked.

“Yes,” I answered.

His eyes moved from my face to Ozy’s, and then he gave both of us a knowing look.

“Oh, so that contest weekend, y’all were being reckless, huh?”

Heat rushed into my cheeks as I quickly looked away.

“Mind your business, old man,” Ozy said.

Uncle Marcus laughed, and I shook my head as I dumped the diced onions and bell peppers into a bowl. I grabbed the eggs from the refrigerator and pulled out another bowl. After cracking several eggs into it, I whisked them together and added seasoning salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little Cajun seasoning.

Ozy placed Oaklynn on the floor, and she immediately ran back into the living room to play with King and Summer.

“You need any help?” he asked.

“Yeah, your uncle isn’t feeling well.”

Ozy’s attention immediately shifted toward him. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s okay,” Uncle Marcus said. “Like I told Miss Noree over here, I’m just getting older.”

Ozy studied him for a few seconds. “You know what? How about you take the day off?”

Uncle Marcus looked at him as if he had suggested something completely ridiculous.

“You sure about that?”

“Yeah. You never take time off. We can handle it from here. Go get some rest.”
