“Large iced black, please.” Giving her ordered seemed silly sometimes, especially when she knew they had probably put it in when they saw her. The perks of the neighborhood coffee shop regular. Offering a polite smile and handing over her cash, she stepped aside to wait for her order. Checking her phone, she hoped more than anything she wouldn’t get called in on her day off, by anyone. Knowing this town, though, that was probably too much to ask for.
As she waited, eyes trained on her phone, she felt a pair of eyes on her. “Take a picture, it’ll last longer.”

Davina Bennett was born in sunny Orlando, for the most part by her mother, Veronica Howard. As a child, she rarely saw her father, but when she did, it was always a fun time. A day at Disney World, or a weekend down in the Keys. And then he would disappear again, for months or years at a time. Whenever she would ask her mother where her father was most of the time, she only received evasive answers.
One fateful day, a second grade Davina was called to the principal’s office. Waiting for her was the father she had not seen in nine months at that point, worry etched across his face. Her mother was dead, he told her. Hit by a drunk driver while driving to work that morning. And Davina would be moving in with him.
Moving to Wickway and living with Damien Bennett proved to be two adjustments in their own rights. Used to living in a city, island life where everyone seemed to know everyone felt completely foreign to the little girl, and became something she would grow to despise. Pair that with not being used to Damien being an authority figure in her life, and by her teenage years, Davina began to show signs of rebellion. After seven years, she realized why her mother refused to talk about this place.
As it turned out, it was Davina’s fourteenth birthday when she found out how deep her father was in with the Santoros. While she was kept away for the most part, a point came when she was seventeen where she started helping out with smaller things, making sure her father was never in too much debt.
She made a break for it at eighteen, getting into nursing school in Miami, only to find herself back when she could not afford a place of her own. Though she refused to get fully back involved when the Santoros rose again, she did agree to patching up its members as needed, as long as Damien also agreed to keep his involvement to a minimum.
