Jessica had been growing incredibly bored in her room. She decided to get out once the storm had stopped and investigate. She had never seen such bad weather before. She was surprised, but she was glad she had at least been safe inside while it had been going on. Jessica was a California girl, she was used to being by the water. She wasn't sure that she would puck being here over Sweet Valley, but at least it was water, which was what she was used to.
She wondered past a garage, and saw a woman there inside. She wondered what she was doing. Jessica stood and watched her for a second, before she just headed up the driveway to ask. Elizabeth was always saying curiosity killed the cat. She just couldn't help herself.
