They all appear to be heading to a family picnic, which piqued Aminah's curiosity."What's the deal with this?" Aminah peeked inside the bag at the stacked Tupperware Angel was preparing."Tupperware," Angel said cynically before continuing her work."I know, but what is it for? Are you planning another family trip? ”"What do you mean a family trip? My father works at Cecilia's Paradise, so we're heading there. They were celebrating the 17th anniversary of the resort.""Cecilia's paradise?" Why is this necessary then?
