New gossip has sprung up around town after Elena Meridian was brought home by a police officer around three AM. She snuck out of her house at 1 with a boy from the new downtown.
Asher, her guardian, says that he had no idea Elena had snuck out, and he planned to keep a better eye on her.
"It is what teenagers do," he said, sheepishly. "But I didn't think she'd find trouble in a small town. Guess I was wrong."
As her punishment, Elena has to spend three weekends cleaning up around Lemon Lake and Town Square.
That's a fitting punishment for Elena. I hope she has learned her lesson.
