Head back to the living room

Back in the living room, you see that Emma is checking her phone. “What took you so long?” She says curiously.

You blush. “I don’t know, I guess I kinda got distracted by something.”

Emma laughs it off “Whatever.” She looks back down at her phone, and you can tell she is very interested in whatever she’s looking at.

You sit on the couch next to her and shyly ask. “Wh-what are you looking at on your phone?”

Before you can get a look, Emma quickly turns her body away from you and switches off her smart phone. “Oh nothing, I was just texting my mom.” She says in a panicked voice.

Before you can ask her anything else, your mother comes down with a big tray. “Dinner’s ready, kids!”

“What did you make?” You ask curiously, not able to see what she’s holding.

“Pizza!” Emma interrupts excitedly. You smile as mom places the pizza down on the coffee table. Your mom has always made the best pizza.

Your mom starts cutting the pizza when the phone rings. “Oh, that’s probably work! I’ll be right back.” She takes a couple slices of pizza for herself and runs upstairs to grab the phone.

You and Emma both sit at the living room table and eat, making quick work of the large pizza. After some time, your mother comes back downstairs, this time holding her car keys. “Honey, that was work. There’s an emergency and I have to get over there right now. I’ll be back later tonight, okay?”

“Okay, Mom. I love you!” You say.

“Love you too!” Your mother says as she runs out of the house. Now you and Emma have to whole house to yourselves.

“Hmmm…” Emma says. “Well, we have the whole house to ourselves! We can do whatever we want! Come on! Let’s do something fun!”

You shrug. “There’s not much to do around here, do you have anything in mind?”
