It was Zoe's sixteenth birthday and the girl wished they hadn't thrown her the get-together party. She could not even invite her few friends from school and the adults in the house were angry at one another.
She sighed throughout as she sat there with them.
It was her first birthday ever celebrating it and the mood was like someone had died!
Couldn't they just forgive each other and call it a day? Her day?
"Dad!" Zoe screamed as Ian descended the stairs. Everyone turned their attention to him and he did so with a smile. Behind him were Simon and his daughters.
"Good morning, I hope I'm not interrupting," he voiced out as he looked around.
"Don't be silly!" Elizabeth rose to her feet to greet him. It seemed his mother hadn't also seen him since he woke up.
Alan smiled at Scarlet but she quickly averted her eyes from him as if she didn't see him smiling at her.
