Intro. As the car stopped in the winding snow-covered driveway, Janet looked out the window at the charming little hut in the woods full of appearances. The stone chimney was promising that this would be a warm refuge from the bitter winter cold. She had booked this secluded retreat just for the three of them, eager to have a good time getting closer to her new family.
"Here we are, my beloved!" Janet screamed as she stopped the car, curling up in her seat to face Roja and Mark. "Isn't that really, my dear? This would be perfect for a few days away from the city!"
Roja raised her eyebrows, and a hint of pink appeared on her cheeks. Strands of her bright dyed red hair were curled around her forehead from under her knitted green hat. "Mom, are you sure there's enough space for the three of us? I thought we would at least have our own places," she asked, a tone of embarrassment and hesitant anticipation in her voice.
Janet waved her hand contemptuously, her eyes sparkling with innocent secret enthusiasm. " Oh, dear, of course there's plenty of space! The cottage has a lovely big bed for me, and there is a perfect folding sofa for you to share. If it gets too cold, you'll have each other's bodies.
