ELENA'S POV
Saturday morning arrived with a mix of nerves and anticipation. I hadn't slept much, my mind still tangled with the events of the past week. Just as I was summoning the energy to get out of bed, familiar voices echoed from downstairs. Olivia and Alex had come to visit.
"Big Aunty Olivia!" Clarina and Mariana squealed with delight as they raced to the door. The house instantly buzzed with their excitement.
I made my way downstairs and found everyone in the living room, immersed in animated conversation. Olivia turned to me with a bright smile. "Elena! We thought we'd come to kidnap you for a bit."
Alex, looking every bit the successful CEO he was, gave me a warm hug. "It's been too long, Elena."
We caught up for a while, the atmosphere light and cheerful. Clarina and Mariana were thrilled to have guests and kept chattering away, their excitement infectious. After some time, Olivia suggested we go out for lunch.
