Jean Jarvis called the man at the time they had agreed upon the day before. After arranging a place to meet, she prepared to leave.
But Chloe Grant, who had just woken up and come downstairs, stopped her. "Mom, are you going out? Take me with you."
Lately, not only did she have no acting roles, but she was also being ostracized by her classmates at school. She couldn't be bothered to go, so she just holed up at home all day, feeling like she was about to grow moldy.
Now that she saw her mother heading out, she wanted to tag along and get out of the house.
Jean Jarvis's eyes flickered. She smiled and said, "I have to run an errand, but I'll be back in a little while. If you're bored, you can just... watch some TV."
"Mom, haven't you been nagging me for days to stop staying home all the time and to get out more? Now that I finally feel like going out, you're telling me to stay home and watch TV?"
