Ethan nodded approvingly with satisfied grin still on his face.
Then suddenly, a car honked at the gates. The sound wasn't from any of the vehicles in the compound, so he knew immediately who it had to be.
Isabella.
He was going to dismiss his summons when abruptly, he stopped.
"No…" he whispered to himself.
Instead, he turned toward them and said, "Be orderly. Albedo, quit bothering Finn while I go let our visitor in."
It was a command.
Albedo's face scrunched up in immediate displeasure. "What? But I was just having fun—"
"Albedo," Ethan said firmly.
She groaned dramatically and crossed her arms, while Finn finally stopped and heaved a sigh of relief.
Ethan shook his head and walked toward the gates.

Today, Isabella had driven herself. She stepped out of the driver's seat with a bright smile on her face, already moving forward to embrace him.
