After running for my dear life, I checked closely one more time to see if it was actually my house or if somebody else had it too.
My hope started to slow down as I knocked the door.
The scenarios flooding in my head, every wave hit me as I take several deep breathes for the moment of truth. My face heated with sweat that made me warm in this frosty weather as nothing could stop me.
Several of second later, the door opened. "Ruby? Why are you here at midnight?" said a voice, in confusion
I looked up, revealing my face and saw the lady. "Mom?" I gasped in shocked, "Why is the house set like this?
Mom looked at me surprisingly, puzzled as she look around outside, thinking nothing had change.
"What do you mean Ruby? This house is always set like this?" She said confidently, maybe she thought I'm hallucinating.
I looked at her, processing my mind of how it was here and how mom never knew. So I decided to explain everything.
