About a week before the wedding, I had a sudden thought that I couldn't get out of my head. Artem had been given an item to keep him aging at the same rate as me, but what about Mom? How would she and Dad stay together? Was she going to grow old and leave him? I just couldn't get the idea out of my head.
I went to Dad so that I could talk to him about it in private. I didn't want to upset mom with it, if that was truly the case. I asked if Dad could go for a walk with me while we talked so that we didn't get overheard by anyone.
Once we were outside and walking slowly through the trees that surrounded the pack house Dad was the first to speak.
"So what is bothering you, Star?"
"How did you know something was bothering me?" I didn't deny it, he was right; I just didn't know how he could figure it out.
