Recruiting for the Surprise

Eve sat on the park ench stunned and let Dante run off. She sensed that he needed to be alone, and she completly understood the feeling. She was glad Dante had confided in her, but she didn’t know how to comfort him.

Eve walked back to her house alone. She had a lot wrong at her house, but never could she imagine someone killing themselves. On her walk home she decided what she would do for Dante.

Eve walked intoher house with a huge grin on her face.

“Eve?” She heard her mother call from the kitchen. She walked in and sat down.

“Yeah Mom?” Eve asked, a little surprised to see her home.

“Well look at you. Why are you all smiley? Were you with that boy?” Eve’s mother asked with a knowing girn.

“Y..yeah. I was.” Eve said slowly, not use to her mom asking about her personal life. But this could work to my advantage.. She thought. “Mom.. Can you help me with something..?”

“Sure. What is it?” Her mom answered.

“I’m planning a surprise for Dante, he’s been a little down. Wanna help?”
