Warmth waved into the mansion, followed by footsteps that echoed from the other side of the door.
Min-seo moved toward the door, her face gleaming with a smile, her hands at her back.
Lily ran ahead, her cheeks reddening as giggling sounds escaped from her.
Leon's eyes remained locked on the space where the rushing wind waved from.
Zoe entered, wearing a lighter, easy layman's outfit. Yet the sight of her settled over the room with a deep certainty of something returning to where it already belonged.
Min-seo bowed, but Zoe made her raise her head in an instant.
From a distance, Min-ji stood, bloodlines spreading across her eyes as she saw the gift box in Zoe's hands.
Without hesitation, Lily crashed into Zoe before she could even cross the mat. "You came!"
A faint laugh escaped Zoe as she caught both herself and the little girl. "I can see that you're longing to see me."
