Chapter 6
Clares POV
Sav cranked up the music and people flooded the dance floor. I was happy with the way the evening had turned out. As the music switched to a slow song Eli took my hand and led me out on the dance floor. "You have done a great job Goldsworthy!" Eli proclaimed. "You know there's even twinkling lights!" I replied and layed my head on Eli's shoulder. I was just enjoying my perfect moment with my husband, when someone tapped my shoulder. "I want the next dance baby Edwards." a voice said. I turned slowly to see none other than Peter Stone standing behind me. "PETER!" I screamed and embraced him in a hug. "It's good to see you too Clare! " Peter replied. Before I could get another word out, Peter told me he had a surprise and led Eli and I over to a table in the corner. "Clare, I believe you know my wife." he stated. "Darcy? I can't believe it… how, when, why didn't you contact me… I thought you were still in Africa!" I could barely control my excitement to see why sister after all this time. I embraced my sister, and it was at that moment my excitment turned to anger.
Darcy must of noticed my change of mood as she told me to sit and she would tell me everything. "Mom and dad sent my to Africa after my rape. I was disowned by them Clare! I have been back for years right after I turned 18. Dad even gave $50,000 to stay away and start a new life. I never knew if you'd reject me like they did. The longer I was away the harder it was for me to contact you. Peter and I married in 2012. We have two little boys Rylan and Jameson. They are 10 and 8. Clare, please don't hate me!" she said with tears in her eyes. "This is too much to take in." I said with pure anger in tone. "You're my sister… I'm nothing like our parent's and you know that! Damn it Darcy! You could of came to me! " I shouted. "Clare, calm down! This is your sister… the sister who you talk about every day… the sister you said you'd give anything to see again… here in front of you… and you act like this? You KNOW how you're parents are… " Eli said while grabbing my hands to stop them from shaking! He was right I hugged Darcy and we both broke down in tears
