Celia’s boyfriend, Derek, with two of his friends helping, removed his things from her apartment the morning she met her father, Rafael, at the café. How did her father know Derek could not be trusted? Since the arguments with her mother she had not spoken to either of them. How did her father even know there was a Derek?
Rafael remained in the café for some time after Celia ran off and then decided to walk by the ocean before going home. He was wondering what their next move should be and how he would tell his wife that his meeting with their daughter failed when he heard footsteps running from behind and Celia shouting, “Dad, wait!”
Denise offers the prompt word “walk” for this week’s Six Sentence Stories. Continues from Service – Six Sentence Stories.

What a tender moment to end the scene, Frank. Sometimes parents have to let go in order to allow their children to find their own way back to them.

What a tender moment for both of them, I think. It sounds like Celia is rethinking her life and will have the support of her parents.

Parents tend to know, and if they are smart, they stay quiet, loving, and wait. It usually works out in the end.
Well told!

Thank you, Mimi! I enjoyed your story about going out for ice cream and a walk so they didn’t go to sleep too early.

I like the range of emotions and dilemmas of each character, then it ends on that note of reconciliation.
