'Wow. I didn't know you had a spare room at all.' Clara put her suitcase on the floor and she looked around the guest room. 'Yeah nice huh? This was Robbie's study first but we converted it to a guest room.' Told Elizabeth. 'I really like the room.'
'Thanks. Shall we go downstairs? Suggested Elizabeth. 'Yes is good.' Clara and Elizabeth walked downstairs. 'Would you like something to eat or drink?' Asked Elizabeth. 'No.' Clara sat down on the couch. Elizabeth plopped down next to her.
'What are we going to do tomorrow?' Asked Clara. 'Is there something fun you want to do?' Asked Elizabeth. Clara thought for a moment. 'Can we go to Spiderman no way home?' She then asked. 'To the cinema? Elizabeth got a smile on her face. 'If we can.' Shyly, Clara looked at her.
'Of course you can! I'll order tickets right away.' Said Elizabeth. 'Do you even like that? If you don't like that movie you can just say so.' Said Clara quickly. 'Claar are you crazy? Everyone is talking about no way home. Besides, Benedict and Tom are in it so I really want to see it.' Said Elizabeth.
'You're not secretly in the movie yourself are you?' Asked Clara. 'No of course not.' Laughed Elizabeth nervously, 'That would have been such a good plot twist. Wanda on an adventure with Peter Parker.' Joked Clara. Elizabeth chuckled. 'Where do you want to sit? In the back?
'Yes, is fine.' Replied Clara. Elizabeth ordered the tickets. 'What time are we going?' Asked Clara curiously. 'I reserved two seats at three in the afternoon.' Told Elizabeth. 'Yes. I really can't wait.' Cried Clara enthusiastically.
'Neither can I. I'm so curious about the movie. Tom sends messages all the time in our Marvel group that we should go see it.' Told Elizabeth. 'I think that's really something for Tom too.'
Clara's phone went off. Clara looked at the display and she saw that Scarlett was calling her. She quickly clicked her away. She didn't feel like talking to Scarlett. She knew Scarlett meant well but not even one week had passed. She had to miss her for two more weeks.
"Who is it? Asked Elizabeth curiously. 'Oh someone from school.' Answered Clara as normally as possible. She didn't like to lie but if she said Scarlett she had to answer anyway.
'Shouldn't you be recording? Asked Elizabeth frowning. 'No, I think it's about the homework we got up today. I'll call back later.' Lied Clara. 'Okay.'
Elizabeth's phone went off. Elizabeth picked up. 'Yeah, it's right here next to me on the couch. I'll give her a minute.' ' Clara heard her say. 'Scarlett wants to talk to you.' Elizabeth handed her phone to Clara and the girl sighed deeply once.
'Yes? ' She began the conversation. 'Clara, why don't you answer the phone when I call?' Asked Scarlett, 'Because I don't feel like talking.' Answered Clara gruffly. 'Why not dear? Are you mad at me?' Asked Scarlett. Clara could hear the concern in her voice.
'Yes no.' Replied Clara. Helplessly, she looked at Elizabeth. 'Tell her how you feel.' Whispered Elizabeth. 'Clara? Scarlett's voice sounded on the other end. 'I just miss you. Calling is different than seeing each other every day.' Said Clara. 'I miss you too dear. Just two more weeks of holding out.'
'Is Lizzie being nice to you?' Asked Scarlett, 'Yes, we're going to the spiderman movie together tomorrow.' Told Clara. Immediately she got excited at the idea of seeing the long-awaited movie tomorrow. 'What fun! I don't want to hear any spoilers though. I want to see it too.'
'I'll try not to give anything away.' Clara promised. 'I'll hold you to that. I really miss you a lot Claar.' Said Scarlett. Clara looked at Elizabeth who put her hand on Clara's. 'I miss you too.' Replied Clara then gently. 'When I get back home we're going to make up all the time.' Promised Scarlett, 'Do you promise?' Asked Clara. 'I promise. Unfortunately, I have to go now. I have a dinner party with some colleagues in a little while.' Said Scarlett, 'Okay. Have fun.' Wished Clara to her.
'Thank you dear. You and Lizzie have fun this weekend too. Will you let me know how the movie was? Without spoilers.' Replied Scarlett. Clara smiled weakly. 'Will do. Bye Mom.' She hung up the phone and she handed it back to Elizabeth.
'Why are you lying to me?' Elizabeth asked. 'If I had said it was Scarlett I would have had to record from you anyway.' Replied Clara. 'That's right but that's no reason to lie is it? I thought we were honest with each other.' Said Elizabeth. 'Sorry.' Mumbled Clara.
'It's all right. Shall I put pizza in the oven? It's already six-thirty.' Said Elizabeth looking at the clock. 'Is good. Then I'll start up Disney plus in the meantime.' Replied Clara.
