It was a long but fun day out for Emma. But eventually it came to an end and she made her way back home. Still in a good mood, she helped her mother prepare some roast chicken for dinner, as it was already starting to get late. Maybe Maureen was doing most of the work, but the effort was there.
At the dinner table, Emma could not wait to tell her family about her day. So much had happened after all. She noticed her parents giggling about the way that she was talking without end, but she could tell the loving nature behind it, so she did not mind.
Afterwards, just as Emma was about to help Maureen wash up, the phone started ringing in the hallway. Excited to speak to whomever it may be, though hoping it would be one of her friends, Emma jumped up and immediately went to pick up the phone.
