Ensnared in the brambles of love.

chapter 2: path to the future

Lilian pranced into her fathers office with a even expression she waited until he looked up at her until she blurted out " father could please tell me about my mother" after years of storing that question she could no longer hold it in. Pastor Laustson at first had a look of confusion but then faded to shame "my dear Lilian it was wrong of me to not speak of her for so long, but I'm afraid now is not the time to discuss it". Pastor Laustson then raised himself out of his chair and leaning over the desk he took her hands in his he had a gleam of excitement in his eye " I have great news!"he exclaimed "last month I sent a letter to your great aunt Gurwin and she has agreed to let you stay with her at her grande estate in Germany!". Lilian pulled her hands away from her father and shakily she walked over to the wall, leaning head against the wall she replied in a frustrated tone"and you didn't care to tell me". snapping out of her daze she walked over to her fathers desk and slammed her fist right in front of him" why didn't you care to discuss this to me pryer to sending the letter" she growled "its my life I wish to make my own decisions in future thank you very much!". Pastor Laustson shot her a firm expression "as your father I was only insuring that your future would be worthy of you and the best way to do that is to send you away from this limiting place" " what happens when I'm gone and all your left with is this church and pittels of money to spare" "well has it ever crossed your mind that maybe that's all I've wanted, because that's all I've wanted!" " that's because that's all you've ever known, there are things out there I want you to have the opportunity to experience things you can't find here" paster Laustson said his raspy voice getting tired "Father you don't understand I can't leave you and Adrian here, what if something happens when I'm gone or or..." She trailed off. Pastor Laustson walked toward her wrapping her in a comforting hug "I assure you we will be fine save all the worrying for your traveling it will be a long trip" .The two of them stood for awhile in the warmth of each others embrace in that time Lilian realized she needed to begin to put faith and trust her father.Both her fathers. When they were finally pulled away from each other Lilian went to her quarters and began to pack her belongings.
