While on the other side, after Arwen stepped out of the Quinn Villa, she took a deep breath and smiled —a genuine smile this time. She had fought her battle, and though it had seemed easy on the surface, only she knew how difficult it had been. Especially when she saw her father like that.
"Madam, are we going back?" Alfred asked as he opened the car door for her.
Arwen glanced at him, her lips curling into a soft smile. "Let's go," she said before slipping into the car.
Alfred hadn't seen her smiling so closely before, so it took him a moment to react. His ears turned slightly red, but he quickly recovered, shutting the door before heading to the driver's seat.
As he started the engine, Arwen suddenly remembered something. "Alfred," she said, interrupting the silence. "I have somewhere else to go. Drive me there first."
