Creak!
In the suburbs of Crestfall City, a family dinner had ended. Two figures emerged from the front door while a pair bid them farewell.
"Now, you remember to take care of yourselves, okay? Be sure to eat and get enough sleep."
"Yes, Ma. I promise to make sure Elian doesn't overdo it."
Susan Reed suddenly embraced Bianca in her arms as she whispered.
"Don't forget to do the same for yourself too, dear, okay? Elian will break if anything happens to you."
Bianca, although surprised, affectionately returned the embrace, "Yes, mother-in-law. I promise."
Beside them, Tom and Elian also hugged. Tom patted his son's back as he gave his own farewell.
"Give me hell, if you got questions you know where we will be."
"Yeah, thanks, Dad. I will. Next time we come, we will bring Bianca's family with us."
"That's fine; the Months are quite a dependable bunch."
Susan quickly darted between them like a viper and hugged Elian. Bianca held the edge of her dress and curtsied to Tom Reed.
