Elize looked towards the smiling face of her mother. The light from the window cast a warm glow on her pale face.

His jet black hair was straight and combed back neatly. He was wearing a red sweater over a faded white t-shirt. 

"What took you so long?" Came out his voice, filled with concern. 

"It suddenly started raining, and I couldn't find her anywhere," Marium replied, closing the umbrella.
