Bzzt! Bzzt!
The doorbell jolted Chasity out of a deep sleep, causing the book she was reading to slip out of her lap and clatter to the floor.
Chasity: Coming!
She hesitated before abandoning the book on the floor in a rush, tossing her reading glasses onto the coffee table as she hobbled towards the door.
Before she could get to the door, she froze. Was this real? Was she still asleep?
No... There she was... With two little girls in tow that clung tightly to their mother.
Kimberly: Hey, mom... Still leave the keys under the mat, I see! I’m sorry I’ve been gone for so long.. But I’m ready now. I’m here for Beatrice.
