Back to work.
Lisa:
“Who’s there?” I asked.
“Open this damn door, girl.”
“What?” I quickly opened the door. It was Janet.
“Good to see you again,” she said, pulling me in for a hug. “Where have you been, girl?”
“Janet. It’s been a long time.”
“Sister, do you know who she is?” Linda asked.
“Yes, she’s my friend.” I led Janet to the sofa. “Sit.”
She stared at me as if she were just seeing me. “Where have you been, Lisa?” she asked again.
“I went for a vacation,” I told her, lying through my teeth. I didn’t know how to tell her about werewolves and Lycan stuff.
“Really?” She stood on her feet. “Where’s your mom?”
“My mom?” I looked down. My mother, my best friend. “She’s gone, Jane.”
“Gone to where?”
“I mean, she’s dead.”
“What! Oh, my goodness. How? When? I’m so sorry, Lisa.”
