-Chapter Forty Six-
"This is Solidad."
Dad is smiling sappily at the pretty, young Latina woman sitting right next to him.
From my observation, she looks my age. I wonder why Dad would be dating such a young woman.
She keeps smiling at me but I don't smile back. I know these types of women. Gold diggers who use their pretty faces and big asses to get money from older men. It's not like I care if she steals from Dad anyways. I would laugh in his face if karma served him such a hot dish.
"So, Camilla... I have heard a lot about you," she says with that wide smile.
This girl must be a smiling machine.
"Well, he hasn't told me a single thing about you..."
Solidad gasps. "Ouch!"
Dad smiles at her.
