SEEKING ANSWERS

Amari halted in her tracks the moment she stepped into the sitting room and saw a dark haired girl with lovely brown eyes standing by one of the sofa's and smiling at her. She recognized her immediately. It was Mia, her junior from school.

"Hey Mia," she greeted, managing a smile as well. She averted her gaze from Mia to look at her father who had just stepped into the sitting room himself.

"Dad," she called quietly, her tone questioning.

"I umm, there is something I have to tell you Amari," he started.

"Obviously," she mouthed, her face expressionless.

"I am adopting Mia Brent. You two are going to be sisters," Jake mumbled and held his breath. Half expecting his unpredictable daughter to throw a fit or something.
