Lena’s Father

Lena arrived at home after visiting James. She saw a black car parked just outside her house.

"My father is home." She murmured to herself as she walked in the door.

Lena walked into her house cautiously and glanced at every window or door as she walked by them. She walked slowly until she reached a door at the end of a hallway.

She slowly raised her hand up and knocked on the door.

After a brief moment Lena heard a voice from inside telling her to come into the room.

Lens leaned against the door as she turned the doorknob, and slowly opened the door. She peeked her head in first to look at the person inside before she walked into the study.

"Dad." She said simply and quietly. She had her head angled down as if she was unwilling to show him her face.

Her father smiled when he saw her, but then quickly frowned. "Lena, I'm back from my business trip." He looked at her again and felt that something was wrong with her demeanor.

"Is something the matter, Lena?" He asked. He was worried about her.

"Fa-father!" Lena stuttered as she spoke, she was obviously nervous. "I... Ja-James broke up with me."
