Eli's POV:

River Bend Elementary School Talent Show! I rolled my eyes at the banner that hung on the wall of the auditorium of the school. Why I was going to this thing was beyond me. Imogen claimed that she wanted to see Luke's act. I, on the other hand, couldn't have cared less about going to my nephew's talent show. It was just 3 hours of kids mouthing the words to Miley Cyrus. Rolling my eyes, I glanced at Aiden, who was sitting on my lap watching intently as the first act started.

"And now, ladies and gentleman, please welcome our last performer, Willow Edwards." The sudden gasp that escaped my throat startle even me. Edwards?

"That must be Clare's daughter. I saw her yesterday at the Dot," Imogen whispered from the seat next to me.

"Clare has a daughter?" I whispered. A few people around us kept telling us to be quiet.

"Yes, now watch the show!" she said, smacking my arm lightly. Sighing, I turned my attention back to the stage. A young girl who seemed to be about 10 or 11 came out in a white sundress. She had dark brown curls, which seemed almost black. Sitting down at the piano, she spoke into the microphone.

"This is a song I wrote, and I hope you all enjoy it," she spoke clearly and with confidence. I sat down and listened, for the first time in 3 hours, to the most wonderful song I'd ever heard. Before I knew it she had finished and the audience roared their approval.

Wow. If Clare truly was her mother, I can see where she got the talent from. I just wonder who her father is. Clare must have had her after she decided to leave Degrassi and started home-schooling. Of course, that would make her daughter 9, but, she was a little tall.

The principal came out onto the stage as Willow walked backstage. After announcing that the show was over, most of the audience stood up to leave, while family and friends of the performers waited for their "little star" to come find them so they could go celebrate. The winners would not be announced until the next day, which was pointless. Not many people would probably be going to school, seeing as there were only a few days left until it was summer.

"Let's go say hi to Clare." Imogen suggested.

Willow's POV:

"You were great." Mom told me for the tenth time. Yeah, I know that many people can't write a song themselves and have the courage to play it in front of people, but I did mess up a little.

Jake handed me some flowers.

"Thanks." I blushed. When mom said he was hot, she was not lying.

"Clare, hi." The woman we saw at the Dot the other day came over to us. "It's like fate. Who knew we'd run into each other again?"

Jake cleared his throat. "Who wants to go get some ice cream?"

I was too smart for that… Something was up. I looked behind the woman and saw a man with dark hair. He looked kind of like my father. Or, what I could remember from pictures I'd seen of him. Mom never liked to talk about him, but I'd found the pictures in aunt Alli's scrapbook and she told me that he was my dad.

Mom nodded, and we all went out to the parking lot. As we were driving to the nearest ice cream place, I couldn't help but wonder if this would go well...
