Chapter 187

• UNHAPPY PARENTS
• “Dad, Mom, I understand that you are upset and confused, even if you have no absolute right to, because this is my life, but there is a lot you don’t know about what’s been going on in my life. What do you know about my life anyway?” Adam began, his voice calm but firm. “Ayana and I may have had our differences in the past, but we have moved past that. We have become friends, confidants, even. Now, if that is a crime, let us know.”
• His parents exchanged skeptical glances, their expressions still clouded with suspicion. Ayana could feel their doubt weighing heavily upon her, a silent reminder of the barriers that stood between her and Adam’s family.
