“I think we should tell Scarlet about her mother.” Bob, Scarlet’s father suggested sitting at the breakfast table. He had surgery to perform early in the morning sparing him no time to eat. He came back and now the couple was having food. Jessica, Scarlet’s mother looked at her husband wide-eyed. Shock passed through her body.
“Bob, you realize what you are suggesting? She is our baby. We raised her. We love her. She loves us. She is our daughter. We can’t let her know about anything else. I won’t allow you to.” Jessica was bewildered since the moment the couple got news about Scarlet's birth mother is alive. She lashed out almost immediately keeping the fork in the plate that clattered hard. She was angry….and emotional too.
“I understand, dear. I know.” Bob patted his wife's hand affectionately, eyes holding love and determination. Love; for his wife. Determination; to reveal the truth to his daughter. Jessica denied. Tears started spilling from her eyes.
