"Let's talk! We don't really know each other, after all," she said. "Lettell you about my family first!" Isaac studied her face under the candle lights and wondered why her attitude had taken such a tic turn. She had ignored him completely when he spoke to her in the morning, and had beca completely different person after he cback from work.
"Both my parents are from Ylore. I have an older brother and a younger sister. My brother is already working in our family company, and my sister is still in high school. Our family is slightly better than a middle-class family! Have you ever been to Ylore?" Isaac shook his head. "I usually go to bigger countries." "Yeah, Ylore is still developing and the culture there is quite conservative. My parents have high expectations for us, so girls from Ylore are usually more conservative. That's why I was upset yesterday..." Isaac blushed. "I'm sorry, Juliet! I didn't know that. If you had toldthat yesterday, I would not have acted so recklessly. If something else comes up in the future, let's make sure we talk about it. I'll let you make the call, okay?" She smiled shyly. "Isaac, I've told you about my family. You should talk about yours." "Sure. My family background is quite simple, though." "Let's drink this glass first." She raised her glass at him.

She found her phone and once she noticed that it was a call from her mother, she got out of bed and hurried into the bathroom to answer.
"Juliet, hurry back! Something happened to your dad!" Mrs. Sutton said.
Her legs gave in and Juliet had to support her body by leaning on the wall.
"What happened to Dad? Mom, what's going on?" Tears scrolled down her face.

Worried, she wiped her tears dry and called her older brother, who answered the phone right away.
"What happened to Dad?" "Dad is sick. He's in the ICU right now and the doctors said that he might not be able to make it," her brother explained. "Juliet, if you want to say goodbye to Dad, you need to chright away." S Juliet darted out of the bathroom and opened her closet to change.
