243 Visiting dear daughter

Melanie had a cold feet moment, where she started to panic on hearing the knocks along with her mother's voice. Why was her mother even here in the first place?! She looked back and forth in her room before her eyes fell on Simon, who slowly got up. 

"Melanie? Are you still sleeping?" questioned her mother. 

Her lips parted, and she answered, "I will be right there, mom." She turned to Simon and whispered, "You should leave right now." 

"Why?" questioned Simon, and Melanie looked at him if he was being serious. 

"What do you mean why? Mom is going to think that something is going on between us," Melanie caught hold of Simon's arm and pulled him near the window.
