Cooper (and I assume Marcella, right [@Fubsy]?) kept walking to the venue for the graduation. Cooper took her seat with the other Metalheart families, sitting between her mother and father.
Her father, Joseph, was balding and dark-eyed. His face was creased from years of hard work and stress, but his eyes shone brightly when he saw his daughter. The same went for his wife Vanna, a bony woman in a faded yellow dress with a field daisy in her hair. They both hugged Cooper as she sat down, so excited for their daughter.
