#Chapter17
I AM HOME

I sighed out in relief as I heard my dad’s voice. My eyes filled with tears as I heard him shout of Mum.
/"It’s me./"
I took a deep breath, before letting it out slowly.
/"Where are you sweetheart? Are you safe?/"
/"I’m on a jet. I’m coming home, Dad. There’s too much to explain over the phone, but I’m safe now./"
/"Alora, my baby./" Mum cried down the phone.
I could just picture my dad sat at his desk with Mum standing beside him, leaning on Dad’s desk.
/"I have missed you both so much./" I whimpered.
Tears were now streaming down my face. I held my hand over my mouth to muffle my sobs, trying not to wake Callie. I gripped the phone receiver and sucked in short breaths, trying to calm myself.
/"We never stopped searching for you, Lori./" Dad sighed, /"We missed you so much./"
