"N-no, Mom!" said Elena nervously. "The day after tomorrow I will marry him, I hope you can give our blessing," he added later.
"But why so suddenly? Are you all right, Elle?"
"I'm fine, Mom. It's a long story. I'll tell you the truth later. I beg you, you can bless us," Ellena pleaded.
"I'm going to catch up with you right now. How can you stay silent, when your daughter will—"
"No, Mom! I promise after the wedding, I'll see mom, but please keep this all a secret from Keenan." cut Elena.
"Okay, if that's your decision. But please, answer my question this time!" Briana asked in a serious tone.
"What, ma'am?" Ellena raised an eyebrow curiously.
