Ivory was busy, tapping away on her laptop working on some school-related project when a gentle tap on her bedroom door interrupted her.
"Come in," she yelled without peeling her eyes from the screen of her laptop. She was too engrossed in her work that she didn't notice the door nob twist or someone enter her room.
