The Adler family was sitting in the hall in silence. They had completed their dinner earlier in silence, waiting for someone to start speaking. It was almost midnight, yet none of them had spoken. All the servants in the house had retired for the night, giving the family some privacy. There was high tension in the air. Daniel stared at his parents. He knew something was going in their minds and it was very serious.
"Dad, will you tell me what is going on?" Daniel couldn't hold it anymore.
"Son, I don't know how to start." Daniel's Dad, Arnold, knitted his eyebrows.
"Mom, what about you? Someone please tell me. What is happening?" Daniel stood up and sat beside his mother.
"Daniel, whatever we are going to tell you will not change the fact that we love you. We love you a lot." Daniel's mother, Pamela Adler, spoke.
"What do you mean, Mom? You are scaring me." Daniel held her trembling hands.
