"Levy! We're back!" Kendrick called out as soon as he saw her.
"My pretty sis, I missed you!" she exclaimed, breezing right past Kendrick and throwing her arms around Zephany without hesitation.
Zephany barely had time to react before she was enveloped in the hug. She let out a soft laugh, wrapping her arms around Levy. "I missed you too, Levy."
"I wasn't talking to you, big brother," Levy added playfully over her shoulder as Kendrick stepped inside, dragging the last of the overnight bags.
"Yeah, I figured," Kendrick muttered with a small chuckle, watching the two girls squeal and sway in place like they hadn't seen each other in years.
Levy linked her arm with Zephany's, already tugging her towards the kitchen. "Come on, come on! Mom's been waiting for you since this morning. She cooked a feast!"
