Ches had to commend her father’s dedication, that dinner was the first time she had seen him since Easter. Of course, she would have preferred it if he hadn’t visited given the news he had brought with him - or well, the woman he brought with him. So maybe picking an argument with her father in the middle of the restaurant about how they didn’t need anyone else and his new girlfriend needed to go wasn’t what anyone was expecting and made things awkward. Which made this car ride back to school even more awkward, given her father had decided to make her drive back to school with the woman’s son; apparently he went to school with her or something.
Great, he wasn’t going back with the happy couple. The thought of her father seriously dating actually made her feel sick to her stomach. Why would he do this to them?
“Have you ever seen the parent trap? We need to drive them apart.” She doesn’t even look at the tall boy beside her as she parks her car and turns it off. What was the point in looking at him? He wasn’t the issue she was focused on getting rid of at the moment, she didn’t need to glare at him across the table again for him to know she was unhappy with the entire situation they were in. “It’s nothing personal, but your mother can not replace my maman, we need to ensure my father sees the error in his ways.”
Perhaps one would say she was overreacting, but her father had never introduced her to another woman in the ten years since her mother died, her knee jerk reaction was disposing of her.
