"Gia, you are overstepping your boundaries?" Efa, Gianna's mother chided over the call. Her tone was laced with a warning that Gianna couldn't bring herself to ignore. "You know your Uncle doesn't like when we try to get close to him or speak in his life or decisions. And you stand no different than us in his life."
"Mom," Gianna began. "I am not trying to get close to him this time. I am just concerned for Arwen. She is my friend. How can I not care for her?"
She had called her mother in hopes of getting at least something that would help her understand the situation that might have forced her uncle to make such a rushed decision of marriage. But she never expected that not just she wouldn't get answers to her question, but her mother would end up scolding her instead.
