"Rose have you eaten dinner?" Mara asked when Rose went down stairs.
"Yes I did. I checked Anna's room but she isn't there," Rose replied walking to the refrigerator to get herself a bottle of cold water.
"She went to Miss Debby's house. She will go to school from there tomorrow," Mara replied.
"Mum is busy, right?" She asked.
"Yes, she won't be back anytime soon," Mara replied.
"Thank you. I saw you replaced a few things in my room. I wonder how I will survive when I go to university without you," Rose appreciated sincerely.
"You are welcome but Joyce did most of it. I guess she will be willing to go with you when you leave for school," Mara said seriously.
"Really?" Rose asked her eyes brightened. "But I think I should try being independent for a while in school. Don't you think so?"
