Forgive!

Waiting for Xander and Rex in the house, Scarlett paced back and forth, watching them through the window. She couldn't rest easy leaving these two men alone. Afraid they will hurt each other.

"Young miss?" Scarlett flinched when she heard Lana's voice from behind. She stopped in her tracks and looked at Lana. 

"What are you doing here?" Lana continued her words while approaching Scarlett. She saw a line of sight Scarlett had seen before and was surprised to see Xander and another man sitting on a lawn chair.

"And why are you here? Everything okay in the kitchen?" Scarlett was surprised to see Lana looking relaxed — almost time for dinner.

"I've been cooking for over a decade, don't worry about me, young miss. Everything is under control!" Lana smiled proudly and was greeted with a smile by Scarlett.

"...And, why don't you join them?" Ask Lana again. She could see that Scarlett was worried about something.
