The door is opened by a lady who looks like she's in her early forties. She has the same sparkling blue eyes and wide smile as Phil.
'Hello! You must be Dan! I'm Phil's mum.' She says, and smiles. I give her a small smile.
'Come in.' She steps aside and let's me walk in.
'Phil's upstairs in his bedroom, second door on the left. He hasn't stopped talking about you!' She says, and giggles at the last part. I feel a blush spread across my cheeks, though it wouldn't show much as my cheeks are already tinted from the cold outside.
'Thank you Mrs Lester.' I say, and give her a smile.
'Oh please, call me Laurel.' She tells me, and gives me another smile.
I nod and smile once again.
I walk through the massive living room, and walk up the stairs. The whole house is decorated with flowers, and it just looks homely in general. Our houses look like they're in different worlds, even if they're just down the street from each other.
I want a homely home.
I just want to be loved.
