Initially, Timmy was crying while hugging Richelle Dunn, but somehow it turned into a sobbing huddle of the four family members.
They wiped each other's tears and exchanged kisses on the cheeks, laughing and crying alternately. By the time their emotions settled down, the hot milk and sandwiches had cooled.
With swollen eyes, Richelle put the breakfast into the microwave to reheat. Afterward, everyone ate breakfast, still with red and swollen eyes.
Since everyone looked the same, it wasn't awkward at all. On the contrary, the family of four laughed from time to time at each other's funny appearances. Their first breakfast back in this house was finished amidst laughter and tears.
Richelle had been away from South Asia for more than three months, and upon her return, there were a lot of matters to handle.
