Jade waited in the lounge for some time before Chad came in. She smiled. He sat down across the table from her, putting his hands out, smiling lightly. She assumed he was as happy as her they were reunited. "My darling... Look at the woman you have become! I hardly know you... you've grown so much. And yet... I can still see the beautiful child I loved so much, when I look in your eyes. How I have wished for this chance. I cannot begin to tell you how desperately I have ached to go back in time and right the wrong I did you. You needn't have gone through the life of isolation that you did. Can you ever forgive me for hurting you so?" She looked at his hands, imagining them to be warm and comfortable.<br/><br/>"I thought you were going to come back... And come for me," She took his hands, "But what matters now, is that we're together." She smiled widely. Suddenly, from the other end of the table, she heard a sniffle, and turned. A woman was watching from the far end, crying. When the woman saw her looking, she hurriedly stood up and left the lounge. Jade laughed, and turned to her father again.<br/><br/>"What happens now?" She asked.
