Misae's House
"I'm home," Misae said as she walked inside the house. After spending quite a long time in the teacher's office, she got the clear picture about how to withdraw from a school. Although it was merely a plan right now, she needed to get the full information.
"Welcome home, dear, what would you like for dinner?" Clara asked with soft voice.
Misae was stunned to see her mother looked rather haggard. She knew that Clara was busy for the past few weeks because of a case, but she never knew that it was this hard. Her bright mother seemed extremely exhausted that the trace of her usual demeanor was lost.
"I'll be the one making dinner, Mom," Misae offered.
Clara smiled wryly. "Is my appearance that bad?"
"Kind of," Misae hesitantly answered. "Is it because of the case that mother doing recently?"
"Yes. I manage to win the case, but it was quite a long battle," Clara answered.
