241: FOUND HER

ARIEL’S POV

Janice was standing right there, holding an ice cream with strawberry flavor. I was glad she was fine, and nothing bad had happened to her–all thanks to Lisa, I’d say. I could only wonder where she was right now.

“It seems like you’re looking for someone else, miss,” the lady told me. I refused to give her a reply, as I still had my eyes on Janice. She looked in that direction, catching sight of my daughter as well.

“Is that your daughter?” She asked.

“Yes,” I answered, taking a look at her. “How do you know?”

“It’s pretty simple. No one ever told you that you both look alike.”

“Well, not really. But I can see it right there.”

“Of course. You are her mother. She was with Lisa anyway.”

“And Lisa’s the one who bought her that ice cream?” I quizzed.

“I can’t actually tell. But I think so.”

“Thanks for the help.” I patted her shoulder. “I should go meet her right now.”

“Yeah, you should probably do that.”

“You just want me to leave as soon as possible, don’t you?”

“If you have no appointment, I don’t see any reason why you should be here.”

I laughed. “That’s sort of rude. But I’ll let that one slide since you did try to help

me.”

“Don’t misunderstand me, miss. I wasn’t talking to you directly. I was just like, You know.“!

“Oh, I totally understand,” I told her, fixing my hand on her shoulder.

She nodded, smiling at me. “I’m glad you do.”

“Still rude,” I stated immediately. “But thanks anyway.”

I walked away from her and went straight to Janice, who was still enjoying her ice cream. I watched her, crossing my arms, as she faced opposite directions.

I cleared my throat, and she turned around immediately.

“Mommy?”

“Yes, Janice, it’s me. I finally found you.” I grinned at her. “You had me worried, you know.” I walked closet.
