Valerie sat next to Tiana. They were in what you call a deaf silence after Valerie made a certain request.
She was hoping to ask Tiana if she knew who her father's family were or if she had a clue on what happened before he married her mother but she felt it was a bit too direct and decided to change the direction of her question.
"So, you wanted to know how your mom met your dad?" Tiana asked and Valerie nodded.
"Yes, but more specifically, I want to know who my dad was and where he came from." Valerie said. "You know, since there are no records of who he was or where he comes from. All I know is that he was a foreigner."
Tiana looked away for a moment, thinking. She and Valerie's mother were very close, so close that there were things she told her that she could not tell the world.
It was okay to tell her daughter, right?
