"Elle," Tommy called softly. "Why did you just come home? It's late at night and it's raining. Look, you're wet!"
Elle didn't say anything, just took off her wet jacket. Tommy quickly moved to help her and carried her bag at the same time.
"Where's Stella? I came home and you two weren't there," Tommy said, still in a soft tone.
"I left her at Mrs. Oliver's house, because I have to work late and I have to go again early tomorrow morning. I'll pick her up tomorrow after I finish work," Elle answered in a flat tone.
She walked to the kitchen and saw that several types of food had been served on the dining table that looked tempting. She turned to Tommy who was following her from behind.
"Tommy, did you prepare all this?" Elle asked while pointing at the food on the dining table.
