When Matthew and the others arrived home, Eric was the first out of the bus. He went inside Matthew's house without an invitation and shouted happily for his daughter.
"Ka-ti-aaaaa!" He called eager to see his daughter after so many days apart.
But she didn't answer.
"Katia?" He called again, less eager.
"She's playing on Matthew's computer." Matthew's mother said while cleaning the dishes with a chuckle. "Sarah is with her."
"I see." Eric answered and moved upstairs.
"Sorry about him." Vanessa apologized when entering the house with the others.
"It's alright dear. He missed her." Martha smiled. "Are you hungry? You should've called to let me know you were arriving. I could've made you all something." She said.
"It's alright, mom." Matthew said, sitting on the couch. "I ordered us pizza on the way. It'll be here anytime now."
"You should've told me regardless." She admonished him.
"Sorry, Martha." Ffyr said, giving her a gentle hug and kissing her cheek. "I wanted pizza."
