Lillian was speeding home, it was already past 2:30 in the morning and her parents had no idea where she was.
As she drove she tried to clear her mind. She recalled what had happened in the past few hours, and still couldn’t believe it. She was concentrating on sorting her thoughts, and driving usually helped her think.
No luck.
Finally she reached her house. She got out of her car and walked to the gate. She tried to open it but realized it was locked. She rolled her eyes, she was too tired for this.
Lillian climbed over the gate and walked to the door. She tugged on the screen but realized that it was locked. Frustrated, she walked back to her car and got in.
“At least I actually came home this time!” She was convinced that her parents purposely locked her out. She contemplated driving back, but didn’t want to waste her gas.
Lillian got out her phone and dialed her boss’ number. It rang and went to voicemail, “Hi Dan, it’s Lillian. I was just calling because you told me to call when I got home.”
