"Ellie?" she said. "You back?"

Jen pushed open the door. "Okay if I come in, or do you have unpacking and stuff to do?"

"Oh sure. I'm kinda slacking on the unpacking anyway," Ellie said as she sat up. "How long have you been back?"

"I got back Sunday," Jennifer said. "My visit home got cut a little short." Her tone and expression gave away she wasn't sharing the whole story.

"Are you okay?" Ellie asked, concerned. Yeah, she could definitely sense there was more to the story there. "And if it's something you don't want to talk about, I understand.

"Oh, just... my dad is a jerk, that's all," Jennifer said with a sigh.

Ellie frowned and motioned for Jennifer to take a seat on one of the chairs if she wanted. "What happened?"

"Oh, just... found out he's been lying to me," Jennifer said, sitting down.

"I'm sorry," Ellie said, understanding what it was like to be let down by parents. "If you do want to talk about it, I am here to listen."

"No, it's okay," Jennifer said. "I mean, you just got back and... how was your trip home?"

"If you're sure..." Ellie wasn't going to push her to talk about anything she didn't want to. "My trip was mostly uneventful. Though I talked my brother into going to school here."

She left out the part about her flaky, paranoid dad.

"Wait, your brother's coming here?" Jennifer said, smiling. "No way!"

Ellie grinned, too. "Yeah. I haven't exactly told him everything about this place. But I think he'll be okay after the freaking out phase."

"We'll just have to break him in gently?" Jennifer said.

Ellie snickered. "I figure I should leave that up to his assigned big sibling."
