Everyone teased up when they saw Mrs. Miller made her way to where Ayla stood. Ayla's heart was pounding in her chest. She was scared, yet she didn't want to run away. It was quite a hassle just thinking about everything. As he boyfriend, Hayden stood defensively beside her, just in case something went wrong. He was ready to smile just girl. She was still weak, after all. Mr. Miller was the least worried because never in his life had he seen her eyes light up so brightly. She had fallen in love with the girl. He was sure she wasn't going to do anything out of the ordinary.
However, what Mrs. Miller did next stupefied the two. She instantly pulled Ayla into her embrace, which made Ayla stiffen. She wasn't used to that because the only person who used to hug her that way died ages ago. Since she couldn't feel any malicious intent from her, Ayla decided to relax. She seemed genuine per se.
