"No, no boyfriend. How am I supposed to get one?"
Victoria Talkington feared nothing in heaven or on earth, but two things scared her.
First was her mommy's tears, and second was mommy getting angry.
Now that both of her fears had come together, she stuttered as she spoke.
"Our daughter has finally returned, do you want to scare her away again?" Hank Clegg stepped forward to shield Victoria. In times like this, being a father really showed his caring side.
Although, his warmth, like him, was always so cold.
"Alright, alright, Victoria is back too. Mommy, don't you want to know about all the exciting things Victoria has experienced outside?" Michael quickly diverted the topic.
"Humph," Mommy Victoria snorted discontentedly, "She must have been so lovey-dovey with her boyfriend that she completely forgot about us."
"I really don't have one..." Victoria said, half laughing, half crying, "Actually, I was going to…"
She stopped abruptly and her gaze involuntarily shifted to Jose.
