Ava had just landed when she received a call from Steve. She did not pick it up but collected her luggage first. The man did not call her again but left a message.
"Bring Alex only home if he is worth it." Ava stared at the message for a long time before shaking her head and collecting her things.
When she walked out, Alric was already waiting for her but this time he was not alone. It took her only a second to notice Nora standing beside her. Her hands were wrapped around his arm.
Ava paused. She remembered a message Debra sent recently. She was going to be a grandmother soon. At that time, she had thought Debra was fooling around.
But looking at Alric, the message suddenly came to her mind again. Ava's hold on the luggage tightened as she walked closer forcing a smile on her face.
Nora slowly let go of Alric. He walked closer to her and took her luggage. Holding the luggage from one hand, Alric hugged Ava.
"How have you been?" Ava watched Nora looking at them eagerly.
