Linda was very excited, "Dad. I am going back home for Thanksgiving. Can you pick me up after school tomorrow?"
"No problem."
It's been over three months since Linda moved to board at school. She missed her mom and dad so much that she couldn't even wait to pack and leave for home.
The class was over at 3 and all the after-class activities were cancelled. The minute the bell rang, all cheered and disappeared from the classroom immediately. So did Linda. Within 20 minutes, she made it to the school gate and waited there. Linda heard people hilariously (情不自禁地) talking about plans for the coming holiday. What's awaiting her?
Linda waved them goodbye as her classmates left one by one. Crowds became scarce when Linda got anxious. Her phone was dead and she forgot to charge it. Dad had never been late! She had to borrow a phone to make a call before she was the only one left.
"Hi, dad? What's holding you up?"
"I am sorry, Honey! The car broke down halfway and it was more serious than it seemed. Will you wait up for me there?"
"OK, but when can you come?"
"I am not sure. You shall find yourself a place to stay as it is so cold outside. I will be there as soon as I can."
"Where could I go?" Linda wondered. She needed a drink and what's more important, to charge her phone. There was a fast food restaurant nearby, only 10 minutes' walk. Yet, not until she walked a few yards did she realize she had to drag such a big and heavy suitcase. What's worse, the severe cold numbed her hands. It was getting dark and Linda became worried. But she didn't stop.
