Perhaps now was the most appropriate time to finally take care of it. And who knows, maybe in the process she could indirectly learn something about her father, who was undoubtedly hiding various secrets and misdeeds.

Maybe we should just paste our summer schedule into the essay and that's it, hee-hee? 😆
