The Divorce
The courtyard wasn't Taisia's favourite place, but it was peaceful. She strolled along, lost in her thoughts when an owl swooped and dropped a letter above her. She scrambled to rip it open. Tears filled her eyes as she read the letter in her hands.oct. 26
For the full owl conversation visit here.
Her parents were divorced? Her father was cheating? Why didn't she know this already? Why had she not realised? Was Althea planning on telling her?Dearest Taisi,
Your father and I are getting a divorce. I realise this has come as a shock to you. Your father cheated on me with Odelia's real mother. Please do not worry about me. The divorce was made official today and I have custody of Althea, while your dad has custody of Odelia. We let them decide and you have the choice too. I won't love you any less if you choose your father, but I want to have you.
All the love in my heart,
Mum
A second owl swooped and landed on her shoulder, before pecking at her hand gesturing he wanted her to grab it. She picked it up, groaning at the weight.
This was really serious. Taisia couldn't believe it- her parents were divorced. Dad was moving in with Tracy, Odelia's real mother. Again, she read through to make sure she fully understood what happened.Hey TaiTai,
I'm guessing mum and dad already owled you but if not, they got divorced today. I wanted to wait until after the divorce before I sent you this owl so it was one big one, not lots of small ones. I'll start at the beginning:
So at the start of October dad didn't come home until very early. Mum waited up until 4:00am before dad came home. And then I woke up to mum asking dad a lot of questions. Turns out dad spent the night with some woman he knew from, like, a decade ago. So then mum forgave him and they went to sleep but the next day I saw him with a woman and I told mum. And then when he got home at 6:00am this time she got really mad. Then dad told us that the woman is actually Odelia's real mother. Apparently they were in love and when he convinced mum to get a surrogate she was actually already pregnant with Odelia and it wasn't a donor, it was dad. And that's when I joined in and started to yell at him too. So he left and made Odelia meet her real mum and our mum said she wanted a divorce. So we filed for it and managed to get a date (which was yesterday), and a custody grant which is in a few days. So now mum and dad are divorced and dad is going to move with Odelia into Tracy, Odelia's real mother's apartment. Please choose to live with mum and I!
Your favourite sister (and only real one now I guess),
Althea
Dad got Tracy pregnant and she wanted him to keep the baby so he convinced mum to do surrogacy and pretended to put the things needed in her but really she was already pregnant.
It sounded ridiculous. And Dad was having an affair this whole time!
She headed to the Owlery to write back to them.
