It had been early afternoon before Alicia had left her mum’s place. Although they had made what she considered major progress towards normalcy, things were still just slightly off, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on what exactly made it so. One thing was clear, though; her mum was slowly, but steadily, on her way to thriving. Already she seemed more at ease than Alicia had seen her since her dad and brother had been killed, and she had pointed out the very same reason that Alicia and Ginny had talked about shortly after they had arrived here; the fact that there were no reminders here like there had been back in their old world.
Not knowing what Viktor had planned, she had slipped into the shower when she had arrived home, figuring that if they were going out, she wanted to get the sticky warmth of the day washed off. She was just combing through her wet hair when she heard Viktor’s voice. Instantly a bright smile spread on her face. She could feel her heart beat faster and a delicious tickling in her stomach; Viktor was home, and she hadn’t seen him since breakfast.
“I’m home!” she called back to him. Wrapping a towel around her, she left the bathroom, heading towards the door where she had heard him come in. She had only left the bathroom when she saw him, and unconsciously she rose up on her toes as she walked towards him, ready to meet him with the kiss she’d been missing since she had last seen him. “Hey, baby,” she grinned up at him, her eyes sparkling with delight that he was home as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Welcome home.”
