On the walk over, Kevin couldn't help but ask why the secret passage doors were shut. Willow hated to lie about what was going on, but she promised Sid she'd say nothing. Finally a response jumped in her mind. "There were to many wild animals getting in."
"What? The only 'wild animals' are the strays, which everyone knows."
"Right, anyways, what brings you back here?"
"Nice, trying to avoid something?"
"Not exactly...I just promised someone something."
"Oh."
"Back to my question," Willow quickly tried to change the subject to avoid breaking her promise to Sid.
Kevin knew something was on Willow's mind, but he wasn't exactly sure what. "My mom wants to come here for a week and wants to sit down and 'talk things out.'"
"That sounds fun." She replied with a hint of sarcasm. Kevin opened the door and motioned for Willow to go in. As they sat down they were handed menus and begin talking about what Kevin had missed, except for the promise that Willow was prohibited to speak of.
"So when do I get to see my best friend?"
"Uhm. I don't know she's at work right now...I suppose she'll be home for dinner. You're staying for dinner right?"
"When do I ever miss a home cooked meal at your house?"
Willow had to laugh at that. It was true-whenever Theresa cooked for the family, Kevin was at the big white french doors and asking what was for dinner. Flashing a quick smile at Kevin, Willow responded with a sense of sadness, "Well then that's when you'll see her."
