There was silence as they eat,Carly kept pacing out picking on her food.
"I've something to tell you" Mona said and she immediately snapped back to reality.

"Your dad will be visiting tommorow,he wanted to make it a surprise but I feel like I should tell you,maybe that would lift your spirit a little" Mona smiled.
"That's great" Carly force a smile.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Mona asked.
Carly nodded.
"Why haven't you touch your food?"
"I'm fine mum,I'll eat" She said and shoved some of the macaroons in her mouth.
"Aren't you going to go to him? You look like you're going to die without him just days ago,now that you found out you're not related... You don't look happy" Mona said.
"I'm happy,I just don't want to go to him yet" Carly muttered.
"Why? Is something wrong?" Mona asked concernedly.
Carly shakes her head.
Mona stared at her and said nothing.
Carly dropped her spoon and stood.
"I don't feel like eating,I'll like to go to bed now... goodnight mum" Carly pecked Mona's cheek and left for her to room.
"What's wrong with her?" Mona said worriedly.

"You said you wanted to tell me something,he's not here...Tell me now,I can't wait!"
"I think I like Carl" Scarlet whispered.
"Wow,I'm happy for you" Violet squealed and hugged her.
"Don't be happy for me just yet,I still haven't confess my feelings to him..." Scarlet bit her lips.
