Thanksgiving day was here and April's whole family was over. Her aunts, uncles, cousins, her grandmother, Harriet was there. In addition to her family was Keith's aunt, Ruby and his cousin Dante. As well as her mother's 'fling' Reggie.

In the meantime, Keith was over talking to some of April's male cousins and her uncles as well, getting a close bond with them especially since their older than her. They're all like her fathers and brothers.
April was more so talking to her aunts individually. Some are quick with the speeches, others, not so much. But, April was happy with the surroundings, surprisingly, Cassidy and Ruby were getting along well.
Camille walked over to April while she was talking to their Aunt Kara. "I'm sorry to interrupt," Camille announced out loud then whispered in April's ear. "Keith's cousin over there wants to speak to you."
"For what?" April lowly said back, Camille shrugged walking away. April excused her self and walked over to Dante who was leaving on the archway with a cup of, Lord knows what, in his hands. "Yes, Dante?" She breathed out.
"You ain't gotta have an attitude like that, girl," He spoke. "I just wanted to holla atchu."
The tea between April and Dante is that one day, on a college visit with Keith, he went with Luke and Keith to the strip club that night and well... April was doing her job by giving his a job. Only Dante knew her identity and never told Keith nor did he tell him what they did because again that was her job so it's feelings being caught.
"Say what you gotta say." She impatiently waited, her feet was hurting at the moment.
"I just wanted to say thank you for making my lil bro happy. Because lord knows Claire's ass didn't." Dante and April shared a laugh.
"No problem. Your 'lil bro' is one of a kind, your aunt raised him up right." April smiled. Her phone began to vibrate in her pocket. She took it out reading the caller ID for a minute. "I gotta go take this, be right back." She quickly walked to the bathroom, closing and locking the door answering the call.
"Why are you calling me?" April aggressively asked.
"April, I don't think you should be answering the phone like that and I'm trying to help y'all."
"Claire, what's going on?"
"Keith isn't answering his phone so I'm calling you to say Happy Thanksgiving and um... Khalil kinda... did a thing with the restraining order papers."
April's eyes nearly popped out of her head, "What did he do?"
"He bribed somebody and now the restraining order is like... no longer in effect."
