They wanted to hear their daughter’s explanation. They wondered why the meeting was canceled all of a sudden.

“Don’t worry, guys. She’s on her way back.”

“How was she when you talked to her?” Elliot asked.

Anastasia nodded. She patiently waited for Willow to come back and explain everything.

Anastasia and Elliot were shocked. They couldn’t believe their daughter would put on an act this big.

Elliot looked a little reproachful, but he wasn’t angry. “Why did you do this?”
