Please don’t be sad, okay?” Seeing the streaks of gray in her father’s hair made Victoria feel even more wronged.
She threw herself into her dad’s arms and sobbed loudly, “Dad, what happened today... it's not what you think.” But she couldn't bring herself to say more. The events were just too unexpected, beyond what a teenager could cope with.
“What happened? Tell me, Victoria. Didn't we agree? You have to share your troubles with your family. If you don’t tell me, how can | know what's wrong?” | Elton was worried sick.
