Mom! We’ll sleep with her tonight’.

Thundered the two kids to the woman as they had already clinched at Preesha’s denim for dear life. Poor Preesha had nothing more to say.

‘Oh sorry, where are my manners. These are my two kids, Benny and Henny. And i am Kelly Carlson nice to meet you’.

The woman said, already slouching at one of the beds, donning a puppy smile and gazing at the kids who kept clinging on Preesha. On the other hand Preesha remained lifeless, her eyes locked straight onto Benney and Henny’s cutely poignant eyes. This favour too, proved too irresistible for her. She did not want to dissapoint the kids so late in the night. What more could she have done than to simply give in once more.

And so she did. Besides, the kids were so beautiful and innocent to deny.

‘I am Preesha… Preesha Rampersad.’

She gasped.

‘Nice meeting you Preesha!’

Trumpeted the three strangers in harmony. Benny hopped into the bed crawling to one edge, with Jenny hopping in too such that a space got left out in the middle. Obviously for Preesha to hop in and occupy.

They all sat on the bed upright, both Benny and his sister staring at Preesha. Somehow Preesha thought of seeing them salivating and drooling.
