"Welcome to our house."
Alex spoke with a smile, welcoming the new member to live with them.
Clare who was hugging Cecil tightened her hold on Cecil as she looked at Alex with a smile.
A grateful, heartfelt, and gentle smile.
Clare had never seen her sister this happy, after all, in all the time they lived in their world, she never had a person she could call a friend, she never had the chance to play around as children do, and she didn't even get the opportunity to roam around freely.
They were always living their life in fear of being discovered, but here, none of them was a problem.
Cecil had friends, true friends, much like sisters, and then she had someone other than Clare who was a big sister figure for her.
They didn't spend much time together, but they knew each other deepest secrets, which showed how much they trusted each other.
