Tru sighed happily as she decided on what to wear. When she had had lunch earlier with Lindsay, Lindsay had suggested that she wear something nice, but not to nice, since it wasn't exactly a date. She picked a white tank top and a short jean skirt. Her cell phone rang. "Oh, Harrison..." she said as she picked it up.
"Hey Harry. What's up?"
"Hey Tru. Are you at work right now?" Harrison's voice asked.
"No, Davis is covering for me. Luke's little sister is flying in tonight and I'm going with him to pick her up."
"Yeah? Well, uh, never mind then." Harrison said disappointedly.
"What is it, Harry? Are you in trouble again?" Tru held up a pair of earrings to her and looked in the mirror.
"No! Why do you always think that I'm calling you either because I'm in trouble or I need money! Can't a guy just talk to his big sister once in a while?"
Tru laughed, and decided that she wasn't going to wear earrings. "Yeah, I guess. Are you sure that you're not in trouble?"
"Tru-"
"Kidding. I'm kidding, Harrison." Tru's doorbell rang. She looked at her watch. 7:00. "Uh, Harry? I'm gonna have to cut this conversation short, Luke's here."
"Ok, ok. Have fun!"
"Ok, bye."
"Bye." Tru flipped her cell phone shut and answered the door.
"Hey!" Tru opened the door.
"Hey, Tru." Luke said as he handed Tru six red roses.
"For me?" Luke nodded. "I'll go put them in some water then." She gave him a hug and said thank you. "Come and sit down."
"So, Karen's flight comes in at 7:50, so we should leave pretty soon." Luke said as he followed Tru into the kitchen.
"How old is she again?" Tru asked as she filled up a vase with water from the sink and put the flowers in it. She sat it on her counter. Luke hadn't really filled her in on the details of his sister; he had just told Tru her name and when she was coming.
"Sixteen. Just got her drivers license. She's coming to stay with me for a week because she's been fighting with my parents for a while. She's really not coming down to visit me, but to find a place to live. She's gotten emancipated."
"Oh, a sixteen year old girl trying to live on her own?" Tru contemplated.
"Yeah. I told her that she better be near me so that I can come over if something happens."
"Well, she could always find a cheap apartment in this building." Tru offered.
"In your apartment building? There's one for rent right now?"
"Yeah." Tru checked her watche. 7:09 it said. "We better get going. The airport is, like, 30 minutes away, right?"
"Yeah." Luke said. They walked to the door together. Tru turned off her light and locked her door.
