Effie Oliver was sitting at the table with Veer and me. And when Dad, Grams, and Grandpa Vin all had their plates, they came to sit at the table with Veer and me. My dad's brothers and their wives soon joined us. All of the cousins and my brothers sat at the table next to us. And Dom, River, Aries, Zeus, and Marcello sat at the table on the other side of us with Fin. Thankfully, these weren't your normal picnic tables. These tables were much bigger and would hold lots of people. We had Veer set up in the high chair at the end of the table. Oliver was across from me, with Grams and Grandpa Vin beside him. Dad was beside me and his brothers and their wives filled in the rest of the table. As we ate, we got to know each other. It was nice to have a big family around us. Luciano thought
