Kendra came out onto the concrete porch.

She wasn’t in sweatpants for a family movie night.

She was in a dark, shimmering silk dress.

The fabric caught the porch light as she pulled the door closed behind her.

She had on tall black heels and carried a little silver clutch.

Her hair had been professionally done and pinned up.

Through the window, Haley never looked up from her textbook.

The headphones kept her completely cut off from the fact that her mother was leaving for the night.
