Veronica was sitting on the sofa, her eyes in her cellphone, scrolling the news highlights up and down. Roby closed the door slowly, making sure that Ella wouldn't wake up.

"You…"

"Hush!"

Veronica was about to yell at me but Roby hushed her, pointing to the room.

"Where have you been? And I hope you prepared a proper explanation!" Veronica said, her tune was very low now.

"What do you mean? I was with some friends." I was panicked and didn't know what to say. I wasn't ready for it.

"Don't fool me, I saw your golden eyes, that shining string in your hand, your voice, and oh my god, Rose! She is dead." She burst into tears, sitting on the ground. It seemed I couldn't lie and either hide it.

I knelt and hugged her, saying, "I am sorry for her. I am sorry for everything but everything in my life had twisted. Please give me some space then I will let you know. Now just have a seat."

She drew me back from her embrace, glanced into my eyes.
