"Do you mind taking the spoons darling? Anyone having taken the sauces? God! Where is Annie at? Don't tell me she is still sound asleep..."

A typical scene of the Hale family. Mrs.Hale likes nothing but flawlessness. For her, the tiny imperfections are what differentiate the followers from the leaders. The preparation for the family outing debuted with the
emergence of the aurora. The petrichor left a fresh and cool atmosphere to prevail. It was at this time of the day where nature could be really smelled. After Annie and her siblings had fastened their seatbelts and the food  securely kept in the boot of the car, the family car was ready to go.

The voyage was much  cliché; songs were sang by Malia and Kim, the grape juice was being  poured and drank in large swigs, the  delicate  pastries  with the glistening strawberry sauce flowed like lava. Malia and Kim, 6 and 7 years old respectively were so blissful by the cakes. Everyone was enchanted by the trip, except Annie. Being 15 years old entails being trapped between the age of toddlers and early adulthood. She missed her boyfriend  whom she was supposed to meet that day,before that idiotic idea of a family outing popped out from her parents.

Meanwhile in England, Katherine, the eldest daughter, felt an anxiety lump in her throat. Tears fell along her rosy cheeks and she felt her hands quiver with anger and sadness.

"How could he?!After 4 years of marriage, how could Clive even think of cheating on me?", sighed Katherine.

"Katherine, calm down, please.  Chances are that this is really a  "professional" meeting, as he has told you. Being paranoid is  far from clearing your doubts. Don't forget that uncertainty is the beginning  of destruction...", exclaimed Peter.

Peter, Katherine's colleague had  dark green eyes, curly black hair, clear skin with a  tanned  complexion and a statuesque body. He had always been there for Katherine, since the very first day whereby Katherine broke the photocopier. It was none other than Peter who, despite working as an English teacher like Katherine, rolled up his sleeves and did his best to fade away the scared face of the newcomer. Peter had always got his cat-like eyes fixed only on Annie's sister. Yet, the latter fell for Clive, a tall beary man with brown eyes and an antagonistic character. Well, i guess that  beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, isn't it?
