Emma walked to the town line and sat there, waiting for thirty minutes before she started back home. She took her time, dragging her feet over the sidewalk. Once back at the apartment, she opened the door and walked in, looking around.
At the sound of the door opening he scrambled out of bed and stood at the top of the stairs. “I knew you wouldnt do it.”
“What are you talking about?” she asked, shifting the bag on her shoulder. “I forgot my toothbrush.” She looked up at him, her face as serious as it ever was.
He quickly sprinted to the bathroom. “No you didnt! It isnt in here! Liar!”
Emma walked behind the kitchen counter and plucked her green toothbrush from the tiles. ”It’s in here, kid.” She waited for him to come back.
