Theresa felt a little bit lonelier staying in her own room at her house. After her talk with her father in the park, they went directly home. Her father excused himself and went directly upstairs. “I’ll take a nap before dinner,” Edward told Theresa. She went to her room and took out her laundry. She smiled seeing her clothes from her duffel. Some of the clothes in there, even the undergarments, were gifts from Chad. It was an intimate feeling to be gifted with lingerie, especially with ones that fit. Before she goes on missing Chad or worse, dwells on her never-ending questions about her mom, she chooses to fix her bed and do the laundry. It can help her get her mind busy. Maybe she’ll grab a book and read. She was sorting her dirty clothes when someone knocked on her bedroom door.
