Now, in this weird place that made him feel jittery, his wish was granted. He stood there watching them for a very long time as though trying to engrave this image into his mind. This could have been their life but fate said no.
It was Ji Wen who noticed him first. He smiled happily as he patted the crumbs off his hands. "Ah-Yao, come... why were you so late," he said gesturing with his fingers for him to come closer.
Ji Yao swallowed down the emotions threatening to come out as he remained rooted in place. Qilin Hao who had her back to him turned around and when she saw him she leapt up with joy having seen her son. With her arms wound around him tightly she sniffled rubbing his back.
