I say, feeling awful for lying. But the excitement on the children’s faces and the pride on Dad’s is too much for me to break their hearts right now. The children don’t need to know, but I will tell Dad later. “Well, don’t keep her. Come Zaia, dinner is ready. I made your favourite.” Mom…

I ask bravely. Of course, he’ll think I’m getting jealous. I’m expecting an instant response, but it doesn’t come, making my stomach churn. “Dad’s been pushing for it, but I won’t be accepting.” He says, all traces of amusement gone from his voice.
