“Now you’re telling me that my father’s dead,” I said softly, broken by the sad news, my heart was still moved with anger. “Why didn’t you tell me about this? Why do you have to wait until now?”

I chuckled. “Yeah, it’s kind of a long story.”

Luke entered the room promptly, and he halted the moment he saw my mother. I did nothing but look at him while he stood still, observing my mom.

When my mom noticed how my eyes were simply fixed in another direction, she turned around. And yes, her eyes met those of Luke’s.

She glanced at me back. “Okay, I think it’s time I leave now; we’ll talk later.”
