" Autumn,I will not allow you talk to me in that tone,you hear me? Firstly,service starts at 11am and ends at 2pm,what time is it now young lady."
Autumn pretended like she didn't hear her father,so he looked at his watch and called the time, " it's 4pm,what were you doing after service?"
Autumn still pretended like her father didn't exist,and that he wasn't standing right before her.
"Have you been messing around with that boy,Autumn answer me", this time his voice was calmer.
She took a deep breath and prepared for the war she was about to start "I was with the pastor lying about why you haven't been going to Church lately,I lied that you always have business to attend to on weekends."
Ray was thinking why his daughter said ' lying' when her next sentence threw him off balance " I couldn't tell the pastor that you're always with Judy and her family in the city, I couldn't tell him you want to divorce mom for her,I couldn't....."
She was about to say more when Lorraine came rushing into their conversation to stop her daughter from going further " enough Autumn!".
She saw her mother coming towards them in a free white dress,she looks so pure and depressed.
