92. A Private Dinner

AURELIA

Despite being back in the apartment, I still didn't feel at peace. Yes, I was happy to have my son with me, hale and healthy. It gladdens my heart to see Kyle and Katie playing together again.

I was happy my daughter didn't have to worry and my son didn't have to deal with trauma.

But a lot doesn't seem right.

There was a void in the depth of my soul.

"Are you yearning to kill Larisa?" Inara asked, trying to understand the void in our soul.

She could feel it as well.

"I do but that's not all. I have tons of questions, Inara." I responded, confusion oozing off my pores.

Fortunately, Hazel entered the bedroom, saving me from myself as she uttered, "So when do we start packing?"

"Packing?" I asked, blinking my confusion away.

"Packing to go home, Aurelia. We have to return, right?" Hazel clarified.

I nodded quickly, "Yes, of course. We are going home. Jessica needs to be buried properly and in her homeland."
