Ana POV
I'm sitting at my desk in my room just thinking of my life that has flown by so fast. It feels like just the other day I was 6 years old standing in dads little kitchen experimenting with the different foods we had in the pantry. Ray always told me I had a gift of making the most incredible foods from simple ingredients. As the years went on I became even more engrossed with experimenting with food and joined a university in Portland on a full scholarship. I got into the experimental scientific food program. I will be graduating as the youngest student ever to get my Ph.D. in food science and technology. I am also graduating top of my class and am required to say a speech which I am totally dreading. The think I hate most in life is public speaking. I am the girl who prefers to hide in the background and not be noticed. I am starting my new job at a private research facility for advanced farming development as soon as I graduate. The company is currently being subsidized by GEH. They look for ways to create food substances for 3rd world countries to alleviate poverty. My sister and I are moving to Seattle as soon as we graduate next week. Dad has bought us a cute 2 bedroom apartment in the pike market district that we will be sharing. We at least get to relax around the city for one month before we have to report to work.
Kate's POV
I can't wait to get into Seattle and start my new internship. My identical twin sister Ana is the complete opposite as me. She could probably make a gourmet meal from the garbage can, were as I would probably burn water in a kettle. So guess what? She keeps me far away from the kitchen. Give me a pencil and paper and I can draw you an architectural master piece. My dream one day is to see one of my designs come to life. I am also graduating top of my class with a masters degree in architectural design. I have an internship already lined up with a company called Grey Construction in Seattle. I was so excited when I personally received the acceptance letter from Mr Elliot Grey himself. This is going to be such a huge opportunity. I know the shopping and parties are going to be a blast.
Ana on the other hand will probably turn one of our rooms into a small lab and lose herself in there. One thing about my sister is she will never let me go out on my own, she is always there to keep an eye on me.
Raymond Steele POV
I cant believe today my babies are graduating from university. I can still remember the day I stumbled upon them. It was a raining day and I was visiting an old friend from the navy. On my way home I heard the crying of babies and realized there were these two beautiful girls abandoned near the main gate. I scooped them up and rushed them to the closest ER. Those 7 days watching them in hospital fighting for there lives against the bronchitis they contracted from the bad weather was torture. From that day they melted my heart and I knew then that I could not give them up.
I applied for custody and they were in my care one month later. Kate and Ana became the loves of my life. My whole world revolves around them. I could not tell the difference between the two girls in the beginning so I would force them to were identity bracelets so I knew who was who. I still up to today get confused who I am looking at. Both girls have long auburn curly hair and deep blue eyes. I am the proudest dad to have both my girls graduating with such honors. Yesterday Kate graduated and I was the proudest dad in the stands watching my little girl give her speech. Today I am sitting in the stands with my second daughter graduating today. I am sitting with the stupidest grin on my face watching a young man talking about his hard times and how his company started. Then my Ana says her speech.
Ana is my wiz kid. She is a geniuses in the kitchen and the lab, always creating the most delicious meals. She once created a sort of drink that made me feel like I drank a whole meal at once saying she is going to banish hunger in the world. She amazes me with her big heart. That day she promised me when she is older she is going to perfect it and become famous. Now my little girl is 20 and going to live in Seattle to work for a very prestige company called Grey Agricultural. They develop new food products to ship around the world to countries suffering from hunger. If someone asked me to describe Ana I would say she is a Tom Boy that loves extreme sports and motorbikes. She has her black belt in martial arts and also is trained in weapons. I could not allow my girls into the world without knowing how to protect themselves. Although she is adventurous and skilled she is the shy one of the two. She mainly lives in her plain jeans and tank tops and converse shoes. On the rare occasion she wore a dress was Kate's doing.
Kate is dads Architect. She had drawn up the most amazing houses and structures I have ever seen. From a little kid I had to always have pencils and paper handy for her to sketch on. Grey construction struck gold when they agreed to take her on as their intern. If I had to explain Kate I would say diva. She loves shopping and dressing up. She partakes in her sisters extreme sports sometimes but dislikes bikes. She also took up martial arts and weapons training. She is very hyper active and loves parties. I feel a little at ease knowing my girls are going to be living together and Ana will be watching over each them both.
