IMANI
"You got home early," a voice said, startling Imani and making her drop the phone she was holding to the floor.
She had been going through the spam section of her e-mail, looking for the e-mail she had received from Vinay Sanjana when she was in the institute, and was about to check the trash section when the voice broke the silence.
She picked her phone from the floor before looking up from the couch she was sitting on to see Lola standing in the doorway of the living room. Lola was wearing a greenish-blue gown that was made of soft, satiny fabric and her chestnut brown hair was pulled into a ponytail. She was also holding a couple of shopping bags that had Kron and Lancaster written on their sides.
She hadn't expected her friend to come home today since Desmond said her boyfriend, Takeda, had picked her up in the morning and whenever that happened she always stays at his place for the night and comes home at dawn the next day.
