"You disappeared for so many weeks," Amelie told her sister, patting Flora's back after pulling her into a warm embrace.
"Zander wanted me there," Flora replied, finally pulling away. She looked slightly tired but carried a new air of discipline. "I am sorry. I was so busy with the pack's work that I didn't have time to even check my phone. I would even train for hours, sis. Zander said it was important, and I felt he was right."
"Hmm. I can see the visible change in your physical appearance," Amelie answered, noting her sister's leaner, more toned frame.
"Leave all this. Where is my cutie pie? I shopped a lot for him," Flora opined, holding up several bags with a big, radiant smile.
"Noah is with Zilia," Amelie replied. "They're in his room upstairs."
"Zilia is here!?" Flora asked, her eyes lighting up.
"Yeah. She wanted to be with us for a few days, so Brother Cas dropped her here. We have an appointment later, so Noah will be on your watch while I'm out," Amelie explained.
