The entire walk back home, Lilly's cheeks were hot and pink because of the conversation she had with Alex back in the car. There was no touching or anything like that, that happened but still there was some kind of heat and tension in that conversation. That was the first time somebody was so worried about her and had warned her to be safe so many times.
All these encounters were completely new and different from the conversations she had in the past.
A number of things were running in her mind when she realised that she has reached her house.
" Oh no, I completely forgot about Mom. How will she react? ", she murmured worriedly.
" Well, here goes nothing. ", she said as she rang the doorbell immediately revealing her mother who looked as if she was already waiting for her.
The moment her eyes met with her, Lilly's body froze as Alex's words rang in her ears.
" You will be safe, right? "
