Book 2- Chapter 13 After packing a simple bag, I boarded the bus back to my hometown. After five and a half bumpy hours, I finally arrived home. "Dad! Mom! I'm back!" Mom came out when she heard my voice, took my luggage, and kept looking behind me. "Don't look, Ethan didn't come," I said, holding my mom's hand as we went inside. "You child!" Mom tapped my forehead, "Something must have happened, right?" A mother knows her daughter best, so I didn't plan to hide it: "Mom, I'll tell you and dad together when he gets back."
