“luna wasn’t your daughter’s actual title was it”

“no, it was not” he mentioned

“what was it?” I requested

“terra” he replied

there was a deafening silence till prof stine simply snapped

“ten years…for TEN F*CKING YEARS I did not learn about her actual title, I did not know something about”

“on a regular basis I spent together with her was any of that true”

i used to be simply silently trying on the scene unfold as a result of how on earth was I speculated to know that he discovered the reality just lately. heck! i solely discovered an hour in the past!

and that i nonetheless do not know every little thing

“i’m fairly positive a lot of it was not a lie. she simply buried her previous. most likely needed to begin anew” i mentioned making an attempt to make him really feel a bit higher

“you’ll learn about that, would not you” he sneered

my thoughts stopped for a sec, “what” i mentioned with out realizing

“oh do not act like you do not know what i’m speaking about”

“i’ve lived on this city lengthy sufficient to know that you simply and your “brother” got here right here to begin a brand new “life”. good job on that by the way in which. i virtually did not suspect a factor”

my eyes darkened as i felt the anger rise inside me

“what are you aware?” i requested

“not a lot. regardless of how a lot i requested them they by no means instructed me about “her”” he replied and that i felt a bit little bit of reduction

“he does not know” i instructed myself

“you might want to calm down” i instructed

“you are not considering straight”

“aren’t considering straight?” he mentioned and laughed. it wasn’t a contented chortle, it was a bitter one

“you suppose i’m not considering straight!” he continued laughing

“it’s not humorous!” i mentioned

“you might be proper, it’s not humorous however you realize what’s?”

“the love of life dying and being unable to do something about it, adopting a child who additionally dies and i can not do something about it. i lastly recover from the grief of shedding individuals and an individual reveals up in my entrance door and tells me every little thing i knew about luna ten years in the past was a freaking lie as a result of luna wasn’t even her actual title, it was f*cking terra! so sure it’s all very humorous to me”

i stared surprised. if somebody instructed me a month in the past that there will probably be a time when i will probably be on the highest of the varsity holding a teacup and prof stine performing like a maniac, i might have requested what you had been consuming

“now that, that’s out of your system. need some tea?” i requested

he took the teapot and threw it like a baseball pitcher

oh boy at present goes to be an extended day
