“You had best come in then” her toned changed from angry to stone like, she really was a business woman.

“Follow me” she called while walking through the mansion, she walked through five rooms before getting to the lounge, now call me stupid but when you come in from a day’s shopping you want to throw your bags down and walk straight into your lounge, or is that just me?

“Take a seat” she snapped again, I was losing my rag with her attitude.

“Tell me everything you know?” Mrs Denali began.

“Well Mrs Denali, that is what I was about to ask you, I know everything about everything, so I need to know what you know first, then I can fill in the blanks”

“Why would she run away with…..with…..him, when she knows how it would disgrace the family?”

“I don’t think that was exactly her plan, she fell in love with someone else, is that really such a crime? How bad must it be to fall in love with someone and feel you have to leave town to be with them, I mean please you are her mother you should have been the first one she came to, not run away from” the sarcasm in my voice was more than evident.

“She ran…..she was running away because she knew it was a disgrace; do not blame me for this”

“How the hell is falling in love with a man a disgrace, who cares if he is black, white, yellow or even sparkly, as long as she loves him and feels happy, shouldn’t you want that for your daughter?” and then the breaking point came where Mrs D fell to her seat and started crying, emotion was a big factor in her wanting to go to the police, with a bit of reasonable talking I was pretty much sure now I could talk her out of this.

“Oh Teresa you know nothing of the shame it would have brought on this family”

“I am bored of this now Mrs Denali, I don’t wish to be rude, but you’re pathetic, get over it, so what she fell for a man of Indian heritage, there is worse things she could have fallen in love with” I mean Edward had paid someone to kill someone, I think that is a little worse personally.
