Sarah’s pov

Granny was sitting in the living room like she had committed some crime. My father was pacing around just to intimidate me. I knew it because he had been doing it since I was a baby.

My mom was the only one who could let him get under her skin otherwise Marwick and I never let that happen.

Taking long strides, he was about to come closer when Justin’s tall figure came between us.

“My daughter is pregnant, and you are telling me that…

“She is a grown–up. She must be allowed to not only choose a guy for herself but also to fall pregnant by anyone she wants.”

Justin’s voice might seem soft, but I knew he was fuming. His demeanor was a little bit more nerve- racking than necessary.
