“Mhm!” Ran said closing the door behind him and walking over to the refrigerator. She’d slowly wrapped her hand around the handle and pulled scanning the inside for juices. Once her eyes fell upon the juice she’d grabbed it out and then bumped the door with her hip closing it.
“Here you are Conan-kun” Ran said with a large smile plastered on her face as she’d walked over to him. She was trying not to be so obvious of her pain to the young child, after all, they had just reunited and she was glad for that at least.
“Yeah I did” Ran replied sweetly sitting next to him and handing him the juice. “I missed you two" Ran was sincere as she’d looked over to him…She’d seen so much of Shinichi in the boy and though she knew it was impossible she’d felt like he was there. Baka…I’m such a baka….
“Yes, otou-san is doing well. He sends his love” Ran answered after a long pause. “What is it that brought you here Conan-kun? You left so abruptly" Ran inquired. It had been on her mind for quite sometime, she had to ask simply out of curiosity.
“Oh.. uhm…” Well, Conan had to lie his way out of this. If he told Ran he was here to investigate the mystery behind the mayor, she probably would suspect him of being Shinichi again. Or ask him to come back. Or something along those lines and Conan didn’t want that. Why couldn’t he just have his normal body back already?
“My mother… My mom wanted me to live here!” Gosh, this was going to be the worst lie ever. “There’s this special course I’m taking at school.. uhm… She really wanted me to take it. A few of my relatives live close by too!”
Yeah, he was going to get in trouble for this lie later for sure.
