One More Lie

It was Friday night, the day when Emily's 'time off' was officially supposed to end. And needless to say, she was panicking.

Earlier that morning, right after they had finished having breakfast, her mom had looked right at her, a big smile on her face. 

"Well, you must be happy, come next week you will be headed back to work. Slaying dragons and riding tigers in the big corporate jungle," It had been a happy statement. Her mother expressing joy at the fact that Emily would finally be getting out of the house regularly and doing productive things with her time. Were Emily not a lying, liar who was lying to her own mother, she would have been cheered by it.
