Sarah smiled. What would she do without her gorgeous mother beside her?
“We’ll leave as soon as we can… promise” added Mrs. Tua and winked. Christopher went behind her and wrapped his arm around his wife’s waist.
“What are my two favorite ladies talking about?” he asked cheerfully.
Sarah shrugged her shoulders “Menstruation daddy…” she casually said “wanna join?”
Her dad made a face which made her and her mom laugh.
“Yuck…” he blurted “Let’s just go to our seats… your brother’s giving his speech soon”
Instantly, Sarah’s smile faded away. Charlene saw her change of expression so she held her daughter’s arm and pulled her to their table. “It’ll be over soon… then we could go” she whispered and took her seat.
