Exiled: (Phoebe Meadows Book Three)

  My real mother stepped forward, extending her hand. “It’s delightful to meet you, Janette. I’ve heard so much about you.” We were both dressed as regular Midgardians after stopping at my New York apartment before coming here.

  “The pleasure is all mine,” Janette said. “Any friend of Phoebe’s is a friend of ours. Won’t you girls come in?” My mother ushered us into the living room as my father came down from upstairs.

  “Phoebe! Well, isn’t this a nice surprise?” My father’s tone was jovial, as always. He came into the room and gave me a bear hug. After we both stepped back, he said, “Introduce me to your friend.”

  “This is Leela,” I said. “I met her in New York, and we’ve become fast friends.”

  My dad pulled Leela into a warm embrace, much to her surprise. “Glad to have you here, Leela.” He stepped back, beaming. “You’re welcome to stay as long as you like.”

  “Speaking of which,” Janette said. “How long can you stay with us this time?” Her tone held a wary note, as though she expected me to say an hour.

  “I was thinking a day or two, if that’s okay with you,” I said. “I’m waiting to hear from my friend Sam. She’s due back into town very soon, and we’re planning on meeting her as soon as she arrives.”

  “Stay as long as you like. Are you talking about the girl you did all that traveling with?” my dad asked.

  “That’s the one,” I said.

  “Are you planning on taking any more trips?” he asked.

  “Yes, we are,” I said. “It seems our adventures are just beginning.”
