I click the door shut behind me slowly.
"Where were you this whole time?" I hear my aunt say as I turn back to the voice. It was all dark in the living room, my eyes adjusting to the darkness and slowly I found her sitting on the chair, not looking at me but at her hands on her lap.
"Nancy... My friend at the job, I told you about the other day? She does double jobs and she had something coming up so she asked me to cover for her shift and told me that she'd pay me for it." I answer her, confidently looking straight at her and she meets my eye. "Also, I had dinner on my way home."
It came all out on its own, even I was amazed at my marvelous lie.
She slowly stands up and walks near to me. Her hands reach my cheeks. Her hands warmer than ever
I miss my maa.
"Oh dear, Sarah I was so worried about you. I told you not to overdo yourself." She presses her hands to my cheeks, her eyes filled with worry. "I called Samuel to make sure-"
