In the sitting room, tension hung heavily in the air. Freya and Miriam were at a loss for words, unsure of how to explain the sudden appearance of Tracy to Freya's father.
Freya's father, known as 'Mantler Blaze,' approached Freya with a quizzical expression. His face held no clear indication of his thoughts as he moved closer to get a better look at Tracy.
With a puzzled tone, he spoke, "Ummmm... What a darling little girl we have here. Don't tell me, Freya, that she is your child?"
Miriam struggled to contain her laughter, attempting to stifle it with all her might.
"Dad! No, she isn't. How could that even be possible? I'm only 16 years old, and she is 8. It's impossible for me to give birth to a child at the age of 8," Freya exclaimed, pointing out the obvious.
"Haha! I know that. So, whose child is she?" he inquired, curious to unravel the mystery.
