The warm embrace

The next day morning, Lisa was getting ready to go to the academy. She was very excited and her face was glowing with happiness. Just then her door knocked. She walked to the door and opened it. Daniel Brooke was standing in front of the door sullenly. His face was pale and seemed to be troubled by something. Lisa was casting a worried look at him and was about to ask something but before that, she heard him saying “Lisa… I have something important to deal with, so I am going out for a few days. Can you stay alone here?”

She was a little puzzled to hear this, thinking, what type of work had come overnight that he needed to leave suddenly. Then she thought, it was good for her and she could go out freely. Internally, she was overjoyed but didn’t show any sign of happiness on her face. She acted as though she was not happy and asked anxiously “What should I do alone here? When are you leaving?”
