章節 323: Hello Stranger

When Emily had left, she had said that she would come back. And that was the only thing that had kept Jane sane as the hours had turned into days. She had clung to her daughter's words. Comforting herself with the fact that Emily's absence was not permanent.

That she would return someday. 

Were it up to Jane, Emily would never have left at all. But since it was not up to her. She'd had to contend with the fact that maybe at most, Emily would be gone for a month or two. 

But of course that was not the case. After only a few days away, Emily was baxk. Which was exactly what Jane had been hoping for.

But despite the unbelievable joy that Jane was feeling at her daughter's return. She also could not help but be a bit irritated at Emily's timing. Jane had just gotten in from work, and after a long hot shower she had been ready to just sit in front of the TV, and switch off for a few hours. Dressed in her comfiest pajamas, with a tub of ice cream on her lap.
