The Dinner

"Mom, are you ready?" Isobel yelled from the living room. 

"Just a minute," a muffled shout answered her. Isobel rolled her eyes. She had received the same answer about 10 minutes ago. It appears the minute isn't over yet. She wondered if it would take another half an hour before the minute was finally up. Or was this still too short of a period?

The weekend where Isobel had slept at Jayden's place, Jayden's mother had invited her to a family dinner. Isobel, like every other normal human to walk the earth, and had guessed it was just a polite thing to say. It wasn't like that to invite the first time visiting the fake girlfriend of their son who seemed to have broken into the house for and her family to invite them on a meal.

Apparently, Jayden's family wasn't normal. Or remotely close to that.
