Seducing My Father's Best Friend
"Well, Xavier's wife also died."
The woman's eyes darted between the both of us, sensing the tension.
"Perhaps I should leave," she suggested with an awkward chuckle, but my father grabbed her wrist, stopping her.
"Oh, my father is in love," I sang, spreading my arms apart dramatically. "Congratulations on finding love."
My father's face turned beet red with embarrassment. "Sarah, stop it," he warned.
But I wouldn't stop.
"I'm just happy for you, Father," I continued, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Finding love again after Mother's passing. It's beautiful."
