Did I say something wrong

I walked home with a bright smile on my face as I rounded the corner and I was about to enter my house when Mrs Amira Issah called out to me.

"Hey."

"Good afternoon ma'am." I greeted

"Afternoon how are you?" She asked as she approached me.

"I am fine thank you." I said to her looking around slightly, praying he isn't seeing me speaking to her.

"Sorry I just wanted to ask you a question." She said with a small smile.

"Okay go on." I told her. What now?

"Well I have seen your father—" She started.

"Step father." I corrected her.

"What?" She asked confused.

"He is my step father." I repeated.

"Okay! And I have also seen you..." She trailed off.

I wondered where this conversation is going.

"But I have not seen your mother did she travel? I am hosting a book club and I would love it, if she would come." She asked with a bright smile.
