The Gift (2015)
“Leah’s father asked when she placed a cup of coffee in his hand the following morning.
She blinked against the harsh sunlight streaming into the kitchen. “I have a pounding koppweh, so as soon as I fix your breakfast, I’m going back to bed.”
Dad’s forehead wrinkled as he looked at Leah with obvious concern. “Are you grank? Maybe you’ve come down with the flu.”
She shook her head slowly, so as not to aggravate the pain. “I’m not sick. It’s just a bad headache. I don’t think I got enough sleep la...st night, either.”
“Maybe you’re stressed out about the wedding next week.” Dad set his coffee cup down and motioned for Leah to take a seat. “Are you sure you want to go through with this, Daughter? I mean, your decision to marry Adam was awfully sudden.”
“It’s not about the wedding.” Leah poured herself a cup of coffee and sat in the chair across from Dad. She wished she felt free to tell him about Adam’s mother. If she broke her promise to Adam and told Dad, he’d probably tell Mom when she got home tomorrow evening.MoreLess
