When she was home, her parents weren’t even asleep yet and was surprise at her early return. From the expression on her face, her parents knew that something must have happened.
She washed up and laid on her bed, feeling tired from everything that had happened tonight. She heard a knock on her door and her mother opened her door. She had a worried look on her face and walked over to her bed, taking a seat beside her.
