‘ Mom, can I take the laptop? ’

‘ Yes, it's in the kitchen, ’ she answers.

Apparently Mom was watching a video on how to cook quickly and deliciously again. Mom continues:

‘ Why do you need a laptop? ’

‘ I have an article to read, ’ I say, pressing my lips together for a few seconds.

‘ Okay, ’ she nodded, and continued to watch the TV.

I turn toward the stairs, and I hear the front door open. Dad came home from work.

‘ Hi, dad. ’

‘ Hi, Jake! Did you decide to come visit us? ’ dad asked.

‘ I missed you, ’ I say, holding my laptop in my hands.

‘ That's nice to hear, ’ dad says, and puts his briefcase on the chair next to the table in the kitchen.

‘ Well, dad, I have to go I have an article to read. ’

‘ I don't dare to keep you, ’ answered my father with a slight smile.

I go up the stairs, go into the room, lock the door, lie down on the bed, and start reading the electronic version of the book, periodically imagining myself in the lead role.

I woke up and went to work. The day lasted a long time, as if the hand had stopped on the clock. Only three people came to the bar all day and they all came to get a bottle of water. I finished reading a couple more chapters last night. Jenny and Bella were right, this is the best book ever! Now, I too have joined the millions of readers of this novel.
