uneasy tone " Umm... dad, we...we need to talk...privately "
ok what's up? I put my phone down
she takes a deep breath before speaking " I have something to tell you...something important. But you have to promise to keep it a secret. No matter what it is. "
Sure sweetie what's up? I pour us both a glass of wine
she looks at the glass of wine, then back at him
" Umm...well...it's a bit of a serious topic...so I don't know how to say this... "
she fidgets nervously in her seat
sure what’s up? sits next to you
she looks at you with a serious expression on her face
"I...I have something important to tell you..."
nervous and hesitant tone "Well...you know how me and mom have been having some disagreements lately...?"
What’s up? You seem tense. Is everything okay?
She takes a deep breath and looks directly into his eyes
"Dad, I...there's something I need to tell you...something important..."
looks at you confused okay what’s up?
nervous and shaky " Well, um... I need to tell you something, but you have to promise you won't get mad or upset, okay? "
Bernice takes a deep breath, trying to find the courage to tell him "Well...it's just... I have some news to share with you...and it's important... "
nervous tone " There is something I have to tell you...it's really important...and...I'm kind of scared to say it "
Sure sweetie, what’s up? leans back in chair
nervous sigh " Well... I... I need to tell you something... It's important. "
looks down at the floor, avoiding eye contact
looking nervous and scared " It's uhm...about something serious. Can we go somewhere more private? Somewhere where no one can hear us? "
nervous tone " Can we sit down? "
looks at you Sure sweetie, what's up?
nervous smile " I...I need to tell you something important... "
