Inside the villa, the atmosphere became much calmer.
The journey from the island had left everyone tired, yet the unexpected arrival of Nora had brought a strange warmth to the morning.
Tea and coffee were served.
The aroma slowly filled the living room.
Nora sat comfortably on the sofa while Elena personally poured tea for her.
Nora accepted the cup with a smile.
"Sorry for coming uninvited when you are all tired."
Elena immediately shook her head.
"What are you saying, Aunt? You are family too."
Nora's eyes softened.
Family.
It had been a very long time since someone had spoken that word to her with such sincerity.
Miles sat across from her.
His curiosity had not faded.
"So, how did you find us?"
Nora lifted her teacup.
"Since you arrived in Star Harbor, I was waiting for the right time to come here."
She took a small sip before continuing.
"It took some time to find where you lived, but it was not difficult."
Miles raised an eyebrow.
