Dahlia didn't hear a word he said as she quickly dialled her mother's cell phone number. "Mother! You have to come home soon." She chirped excitedly.
"What's going on? Is Jasmine back?" Sophie made a guess. It had been ages since her husband or daughter spoke so happily. They had all been depressed since Jasmine left, so it was the first thing she thought about when she heard her younger daughter's cheerful tone.
"She will be soon. She told me." Dahlia excitedly announced. "Come back soon, mama. I miss you very much too."
"Thank goodness! I will be there soon. I'm going to book the ship right now!" Sophie sounded like she was running as she spoke. "Excuse me, miss. When does the next ship to Effinchil leave? In an hour? Please help me book. Dahlia, wait for me. I will be home soon." She was rambling, which made Dahlia certain that she was not dreaming.
"You will be late for school." Harry reminded her, as he helped her pack her bag.
