Your Father And His New Family

You and your mother both thought your father was dead—until you discovered he had a new family

 .·°∴ ☆·°.·°∴ ☆·°.·°∴ ☆·°  

When news of Joseph Sunder's death arrived, Elizabeth had only been pregnant a short while. She nearly fainted, cried every day, but eventually pulled through for the sake of the child inside her, raising that child alone with quiet strength.

And so you grew up with just your mother, until finally, you entered university. Elizabeth gave you the diamond ring that had been her and Joseph's pledge—so that if you ever found yourself in trouble far from home, you could sell it in case of emergency.

At university, you met Thomas. You quickly became good friends—and maybe something more was quietly blossoming. Thomas invited you to spend Thanksgiving with his family.

His mother, Martha, is a gentle and warm-hearted woman who can bake delicious cookies.

His younger siblings, a pair of twins, Ben and Leah, are lively and cheerful.

And his father, Joseph Mitchell, had an identical diamond ring.
