delilah rose montclair is the second daughter of kathryn and her husband, paul, named in honour of her grandmother, rosie montclair; a woman cherished by nearly everyone in sedona for her warmth, generosity, and unforgettable cooking. their father traveled a lot for business, sometimes for weeks or months, and yet, he'd always come back; showering them all with gifts.
while he was gone, the small diner was their second home, as delilah and her sister would spend almost all of their time there after school, doing homework or helping around from a young age. their life was quiet and happy. there was never a sign that something was wrong, their dad was always there for the important moments, school recitals, prom, or graduations. he adored his girls and they adored him.
and then, delilah came across something she never expected to see. she was only twenty-three when she found a photo of her dad on a random person's social media page. he was smiling, he looked happy, but something was off. the name on the profile, didn't match. they called him dad. but he was her dad, and he had his arm around another woman's waist, smiling with what delilah later realised were his children. it didn't take long for reality to catch up with her. only the nightmare didn't end there; it came with the realization that her mother, herself and her sister were the secret family.
her dad, her hero, was a liar. their whole life was a life. and just like that, everything came crashing down. her family found out. half of the town found out.. and by the time he came back, delilah and her sister had already legally changed their name and completely cut him off their lives. it felt like the right thing to do, despite the void that it left her with.
ever since, delilah helps her mother in the diner. the business is supposed to pass down to her, and that alone had given her a reason to put most of her focus on keeping her grandmother's dream alive. she bought a small two-bedroom apartment uptown, and tried her best to live a quiet life, though some of her choices are... questionable already.
