I got home very late in the night, hoping my mom and Laura would have gone to bed. I didn't want them asking how things went at the hospital. I didn't have answers yet and I sure wasn't ready to talk about it.
I slid into the kitchen, and collected some food from the fridge. I leaned against the counter, waiting for the microwave's beep.
"Uwwww… is that a blush I just saw liking your face? Tell me, what's it about?" A voice suddenly rose behind me.
I knew it was Laura even before I turned. She was right there, leaning against the wall and staring with a smile across her face.
"Laura! You're still awake? Why? I thought you'd be sleeping by now…" I let out while she smiled.
"You left two people in the house and went out this morning, and you really think we would go to bed without you back in this house?" She quizzed while I chuckled.
"So she's still up too? My mom, where is she?"
