Adina's Past.
My father returned later that evening after being away for nearly two weeks. Lauren made up some excuse about us playing a game of ball and the ball had accidently hit me on the eye, which by now was blue and swollen. He told me that I had always been a clumsy child growing up and that, no matter how many times, he told me to be careful...
That someone might think he was abusing me. I still always came home with scraps and bruises... if only he had known that this time I wasn't being clumsy, but his mate's hands were faulty towards me. As always, dad complimented the cook, Lauren saying that she had out did herself with dinner...
She smiled and thanked him, telling him that if she had known he was coming home she would have made more than just the beef stew and dumplings..
