As they arrived home, Kyra's laughter filled the air as she chatted with David, her face relaxed and carefree. Oceanus and Silas sat on either side of her.
Vincent, observing the scene, made a mental note. More sofas needed! The house seemed to be filling up fast.
Toma ran into Kyra's arms with a bright smile, his small legs moving as fast as they could. Kyra bent down and caught him in a tight embrace, her heart swelling with warmth as she hugged him close. She kissed his little face all over, making him giggle and squirm with delight.
"Oh, my sweet Toma!" Kyra cooed, her voice filled with affection. She pulled back just enough to look into his bright eyes, brushing his messy hair out of his face. "I missed you so much!"
Toma wrapped his arms around her neck, squeezing her as tight as his little arms could. "I missed you too, sister! I was good, I promise!"
