                         ..."I saw this outside our door", she said. So, I had to tell her every little bit of the stupid thing I was going through. When I skipped the 'window part', she said,

"What else are you hiding?", so eventually, I had to tell her EVERYTHING.

"I am so sorry, grandma. I promised you I won't hide anything from you, but this seems rather serious and I didn't want you to worry...besides, you already have a lot of worries up on your mind...I am sorry about everything...", I completed. So, she talked about informing the cops to which I said the word "No" three times.

"Tell me one thing grandma-how do you always know when I am lying and when I am not...it's like you read my mind.", I asked, partly because I really wanted to know and partly because I was dying to change the topic.

"The people who love you unconditionally...", she paused and looked at me, "always know it.", she completed, and her answer really had me thinking.

   That night I had to sleep downstairs since there was no way grandma would let me sleep in my room after what had happened. Thursday at college went quite boring like some days are 'extra-ordinarily boring'.I returned home, went to my room, and saw one huge difference. My window had grills! Of course, they looked ugly but I felt safe by just looking at them. Moreover, I could sleep in my own room without any worries. When I went downstairs to have some snacks, grandma said,

"So, how do you feel about the surprise?" 

"Not exactly good...but not exactly bad as well", I answered.

"Soon after you went to college, I called up Stuart and asked him to do the work.", grandma said and I thanked her for the same.

"And Lucy, I will call Mrs. Abigail and take a therapy appointment for Saturday.", I told Lucy as she was struggling with Agoraphobia for the last two years.

"You have the dance party on Saturday, forgot?"

"It's postponed to next Friday actually", I said.
