"Mary Anne Grabbed her jaw and ran from the room with mom crying and following her.I looked at my grandmother and said. "I know you have never liked m... because you always thought my father was not good enough and I accepted that. But that was no reason to say that to my sister, she has always loved you no matter the way you treated me." With that I turned and walked away to see about my sister.As I walked from the room I heard my father say to them. "I have always thought of Brent as my own son. Do you have any ideas?”The kid didn’t say anything, just sat and glared at me.“How about some lunch? Are you hungry?” silence.I stood and opened the door. “Could we get some lunch here?

The most shocking part of the news was when she said the man she loved was a vampire. My jaw was on the floor.

Evidently, over the last.
