"Ayanna, what?"
Ayanna was taken by surprise as she turned around to find her father standing behind her. She had been so absorbed by her one way conversation with her dead mother that she hadn't noticed her father arriving.
"Dad." Ayanna said in a panic as she stood up and dusted ther pants. "How long have you been standing there and how much did you hear?" She asked.
Emilio Reyes III quickly ran to his daughter and hugged her as he cried.
"You brought white roses for mom? Her favorite." Ayanna said with a smile as she tried to shift the topic in the hopes that her father had not realized what she said.
"Yes." Emilio Reyes said as he released his daughter from his arms and gently placed the roses on his wife's grave.
He remained silent for a while, Ayanna could only guess what was going on in her father's mind. The former CEO was just as complicated as her brother. That's probably where he got it, from their dad.
