#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.
