Fallen in love

ALYSSA'S POV:

"Why does your face look so sullen? Did you see some ghost?" As Ken asked me the question as soon as she sat on the car, I was in loss of words.

"No... nothing serious. I was just thinking about tonight's party." Another lie on my birthday.

"Well it's just going to be the families this time, isn't it?"

"Yes I guess, it's dad who wanted it this way."

"I'm surprised uncle Edward didn't throw a grand party like always. He isn't always a fan of small parties, especially on your birthday."

"I know right? But maybe dad had a change of mind."

Though I said it to Ken but I'm having doubts myself. It made me feel strange when far shared the idea of having just families around but I thought maybe he wanted change. But now that Ken has raised the same question, I can't help it out but think about it. I'm getting this strong feeling that there would be something big coming up from him.
