#Chapter11

|Present|

I heard a knock on my bedroom door.

/"Scarlett?/" My dad's voice called out.

My stomach dropped.

It had been two weeks since I had come back and found out that my father was engaged. I had successfully managed to avoid him during this time. I'd leave for college after I heard him leave the house for work and I had dinner in my room.

Looks like my luck had run out.

/"Yes dad?/" I tried to keep the hostility out of my voice.

The doorknob turned and my father hesitantly stepped inside. I looked at him expectantly and he cleared his throat. He rocked a little on the balls of his feet, stalling.

Finally, he spoke up, /"We're having some guests over for dinner. I want you to come downstairs and meet them./"

/"Who?/" My voice had a sharp edge.

/"Sara's family./" My father's voice didn't waver.

My jaw clenched as I tried to control my anger.
