Chapitre 30: What's His Name?"

Jordan was silent, and that brought about a tense atmosphere between them. He avoided her gaze while she only wished he would just look at her.

"Dad…" Sara called. Her tone and eyes pleaded with him, but she didn't know exactly what she was pleading for.

"Say something, please," Sara said as she rose from her seat and sat next to Jordan. She took his hands and gently squeezed them. "What did you tell them about me?" She hoped he had claimed she didn't exist, but considering they knew about his marriage to her late mother, she was sure they were aware of her existence. Claiming she didn't exist would only raise suspicion.
