Chapter 21: Dream Destroyed

Caroline's POV

I'm seriously confused right now. I called Mom to ask about Uncle Anthony. She says that he now stays in my late grandparents' small farmhouse in California. But...... then who was the one I saw in that car...? Was it my Uncle or just my imagination?

Daniel is sitting next to me and watching television. I look at his face only to see his eyes on me.

"What?" I asked.

"You seem to be deep in thought....? Something that I should know of?" He asked.

I laughed trying to make him believe that I am fine "Nothing..... Just that it's a beautiful place. Completely different from New York" I said. And he nodded agreeing with me. What I didn’t know was that he knew I lied.

"And I should believe that? At least say something that's convincing. If you don't know to lie, you shouldn't even try" he said not happy with me lying to his face.

"Alright alright..... Daniel.... I saw my Uncle.... I mean my Dad's brother.
