Chapter 289: And You're Happy?

Billie Bob Taylor 

When Pa arrived I was a bit happier from this morning even though I was still down in the slumps, my family gave me hope I would be okay. So all I could do was stay optimistic and pray everything would make sense in the end. 

Astonishingly he had gotten me a large horse teddy with sunflowers. 

"I was scared you would think you're too old for this," he chuckled nervously as he handed me the horse and sunflowers. 

"I love it," I smiled as I placed the horse next to the bull and Benedito put the sunflowers in another vase. 

"Jojo," Pa greeted Ma. 

"Joe," she greeted back with a slightly cheeky smile that made him roll his eyes. 

"Taylor," he shook Clyde's hand who stood up with a smile. 

"Jones."

There were so many surnames and nicknames flying in the air that I felt my head become dizzy. 

"Mister Pereira," Pa shook Benedito's hand.

"Benedito, is fine," he smiled.
