Eliot got out of his car, wondering who the people in the other car were. He stood outside, waiting, but not a second later, the back door of the front car opened, and a familiar female figure stepped out. She turned back and pulled out a bag and laptop, with three men standing behind her. One of them offered to help, but she declined, all the while, Eliot's brows furrowed. Though he hadn't seen her face yet, he knew it was Ephyra.
He was trying to understand how his daughter, Ephyra, knew all these people, why they brought her home, and why she was dressed in clothes she never wore. But remembering what Marianna and Myra said about her recent behavior, anger replaced his confusion. Just as he was about to yell her name, she was already running toward him.
"Father…" She wrapped her arms around him and started sobbing. "F-Father… I've missed you."
