"Umm, A friend brought an umbrella for me," Lana said, suppressing a blush.
"Oh, That's a nice friend, Why don't we call her in?" Mrs. Jude asked.
"He already left," Lana replied.
"Ok... He?" Mrs. Jude asked.
"Yes, Xander brought me home," Lana said, "Mom, I'm starving,"
"Food will be ready in some minutes dear, Just wait in your room," Mrs. Jude said.
Lana nodded and jumped upstairs, Her hair swaying as she ran. Mrs. Jude took one look at her daughter and then smiled.
"She's really growing up," Mrs. Jude said to herself and smiled happily showing her tender cheeks.
Lana was about to get to her room, She ran into a burly man.
"Dad," Lana said and engulfed him in a tight hug.
"Lana, How are you feeling?" Mr. Jude asked.
He was a man of virtue, He had black hair that matted his eyes as well as a pointed nose. His voice backed by authority was enough to make any person shudder.
