There was a sound of an electronic lock unlocking and the door was soon opened. It revealed a face and a figure that Elys had missed dearly and never forgotten. She could see the joy in her father's eye the moment he caught glimpse of her. Before she managed to say anything, he instantly rushed towards her and embraced her tightly, lifting her feet from the ground. She felt tremendous happiness to be welcomed so warmly by her father that she closed her eyes and put her arms around his neck, returning his embrace. Her father was still as spirited as ever. Aside from his slightly older look, nothing has hardly changed. She glimpsed a tear falling down the edge of her father's eye and couldn't help but moved by her father's love.<br/>“How? I thought your plane didn’t land until five hours from now?” Her father asked the obvious question.<br/>"What can I say? I miss you guys so much that an hour later would kill me, so I took an earlier flight. Besides, it seems like the surprise did work." She chuckled. Lance smiled and they hugged each other once more. He herded her inside, dragging her luggage with him.<br/><br/>The pleasant and sweet aroma of the house struck Elys instantly the moment she entered the house. It has been too long since the last time she set foot here and she had almost forgotten the smell. She walked side by side with her father towards the dining area, her headphone still hanging by her neck. She felt the anticipation almost explode inside her as she felt so eager to meet with Roxanna and Bella and was curious how much they had grown. When her father opened the door to the dining room, she caught a look at a light red-haired woman eating all by herself. Wanting to surprise her, Elys signaled her father to stay quiet as she sneaked towards her. When she was close enough, she put both of her palms on Roxy's eyes, obstructing her vision. Then she imitated their father's voice, "Guess who it is?" It was too hard for her to hold her laughter causing her voice to be a bit shaken.
