Agle din subah sab normal tha. Hamesha ki tarah maine breakfast banaya. Main aur Gaurav taiyaar ho hokar office nikal gaye. Aaj main bohut excited thi... kyonki aaj shyam ko mujhe mere saare sawalo ke jawab milne wale the.Maine office ke saare assignement time par complete kiye. Sham mein Gaurav ke sath ghar ke liye nikal aayi. Raste mein Gaurav meri jaangho par hath fer raha tha aur main mummy ke baare mein soch rahi thi.Hamari gaadi automatic thi toh Gaurav ko gear lagane ke baare mein nahi. My resolution returned. I emailed him back "Try me, please sir". From there a correspondence developed. Lots of questions from him, lots of answers from me. My age (23), my colouring (dark), my job and education, where did I live and did I live alone? I told him the town I lived in and that I lived alone in a rented house. Experience of the scene? This required quite a long answer, which included an honest appraisal of the fairly amateurish scenarios I had played out. We also had an extensive. Is everything ok? Is something wrong?”The woman hesitated, looked at Lauren, offered a thin smile. “Yeah ... everything is fine ... I just ... wanted to talk to you a bit ... It’s about your brother. Logan.”“Oh ... what did he do?” Lauren figured the boy had done something which wasn’t appropriate, as was his custom. “He ... sometimes has no control, just does stuff without thinking...”“That, uh ... that makes two of us...”She went silent again for a moment before saying quietly, “I did. Cruel and mocking. That actually seemed prettylikely. It had fitted with her manner anyway.But what did it all mean for me? I had resolved to be nice to heranyway. Of course, she wasn't to know that. I avoided thinking aboutthe inevitable conversation with Steph. I would have to tell her. Idreaded the thought of it.I was there, slightly surprised to have reached it so quickly.I fumbled for the keys, turned off the alarm and hurried upstairs. Itwas odd to find the place so dark. I turned on all.
