Chapter 20I stare at the image. It is my mother on her wedding day. Her lips are curved in the most beautiful smile. Sophie is standing beside her, as a maid of honour.
"You look so much alike." Sophie speaks.
I can't bring myself to tear my eyes away from the photo. A million emotions are boiling Inside me.
"Do you know her?" My voice breaks as I ask.
"She was my best friend since college." She puts her tea aside.
It comes as a shock because my mother never told me about Sophie. I knew Andre's mother as her best friend.
"Do you know her?" Sophie repeats my question.
Am tempted to lie but I nod instead, "She was my mother."
I just feel this strong motherly connection with Sophie. I can trust her.
"Figured that at the Gala, that's why I asked Ryan to invite you over."
I get agitat
