Chapter 13

  Coming out of the kitchen, she kept both bowls of cereal on the dining table and advanced to the sitting room.

  Someone was lying on the sofa, a duvet covering the person's body from the toes up to the neck exposing only the person's head.

  Dr Ellen walked to the person and gently kissed the person on the forehead.

  “ wake up sweetheart, it's time to have your dinner, ” She said softly, gently tapping her up from her sleep.

  Clara opened her eyes sluggishly.

  “ Dinner is ready, ” Dr Ellen said again.

  “ Alright mom, ” Clara said, trying to wipe the sleep from her eyes by rubbing the back of her hand on her eyes.

  She was still feeling sleepy but not as much as she was hungry...

  On the dining table 

  Clara and her mom Dr Ellen both enjoyed their meal of cereals without saying a word until... 

  “ The boys I saw you with, are they your friends? '' Mrs Ellen asked.

  That question coursed Clara to think for a while before giving out a reply.
