OPEN THE DOOR

Isabella felt her legs shaking as she groggily dragged herself to the front door of her house. She had just arrived after traipsing for approximately thirty minutes. She opened her bag and began fumbling through it for her phone till she found it. She brought out her phone and dialed her mom's number. The phone rang for a few seconds before the caller responded.

"Please open the door, mom," Isabella said, and she hung up immediately.

A few minutes later, the door was unlocked from the inside and opened.

"What happened, Isabella? It's nine o'clock and you're late from work," her mom complained as she pulled the door open and stepped aside to let her in.

Isabella walked in through the door and entered the house, leaving the door open behind her, which her mother quickly shut before turning to look at her. She stepped out of her shoe and tossed it to the floor. As she made her way to her small bedroom, she stretched out her exhausted body.
