Nobody's POV
2 days before Thanksgiving
Toni and Tamar were at the supermarket getting the ingredients that Evelyn sent them to get.
"Toni?"
"Hmm?" Toni said grabbing 2 cans of sauce.
"Is dad coming for thanksgiving?"
"I don't know."
"When was the last time that you spoke to him?"
"6-7 years ago." She said nonchalantly.
"Toni!" Tamar exclaimed as they walked into the frozen food aisle.
"What? Stop yelling at me."
"That's a long time. What caused y'all to stop speaking?" She asked and Toni gave her a look.
"Ohh that's why."
"Yes, that's why."
"Toni you need to call him."
"After we got married I tried to call him to you know, forgive him as Trina did but he never answered."
"That's unlike dad."
"Same thing I said. I called him again when I found out I was pregnant but he didn't answer. I left him a voicemail but he never returned my calls."
"Did you try again another time?" Tamar asked as they walked into another aisle to get the kids and adult drinks.
"Yes, I did. When I found out that I was having a girl I called him and I couldn't leave a voicemail because of all the previous voicemails that I sent."
"Why not? His mailbox was full?"
"Yeah. A couple of weeks after I gave birth, I tried calling him again to see if he could fly down to see his granddaughter and I'll pay for the flight. Never answered, never called back. He never even sent me a text saying that he'll call me back later or that he was busy at that time."
"There has to be an explanation." Tamar said wondering why her dad didn't return her sister's calls
"Which is that he's still upset that I didn't invite his wife to my wedding."
"No, I don't think so. Did you call the right number?"
"Yes. The same number he had since we were kids."
"Damn."
Tamar's POV
There has to be an explanation because dad wouldn't do something like that. He can't still be that upset that Toni didn't invite Mrs. Wanda. Or maybe he is and he was just like 'I'm not gonna go because this is not the first time my daughters didn't invite my wife.' Butttt, Toni's still your daughter. Your blood. Your flesh.
I could tell that Toni was still upset about what happened 6-7 years ago. Hell, I'll be upset too. Toni said that she kept calling him and I believe her. When I don't answer my phone she keeps on calling and calling me and I be having 30+ calls and messages from her trying to reach me.
Maybe daddy was ignoring her. I don't think he would do that. Would he? I changed the subject because I could see how bad it was affecting Toni.
"What happened after you went home the night that you fought Nicole? I didn't hear from you for three days."
"Umm, well you see-"
"He punished you? Ouu, girl y'all freaky."
"No, when I came home he was mad. So after I change my clothes I started teasing him and I asked him 'Why are you so mad daddy?' after I said that everything that happened is confidential."
