the ends of rouge lips curve up
into a gentle grin.❝Homework? Man, you really are
your father’s daughter aren’t you?❞

she gives her shoulders a slight shrug
and a small grin spreads across her lips.
❝ Don’t tell him that, it’ll go to his head. ❞
mary jane leans in the doorway,
arms crossed, as lips purse,
green eyes perusing her
daughter.
❝With?❞

( she glances up at the sound of
her mom’s voice. she almost looks
guilty for the tone she took before. )
❝ Homework. ❞

( she sits against the wall, completely
engrossed in the tablet in front of her.
she hears the floorboards creek at the
doorway to her room, but she doesn’t
even look up to see who it is. )
❝ What? — — Kinda busy here. ❞
