Adrianna was so happy to see him that she went and hugged him from the back. Dmitri smiled and held her arm. "Where have you been? It's so late."
"Hmm… something urgent came up…" she replied, as she smelled the familiar scent that always calmed her. The incident of the morning was still in her mind. "How is your mother now?"
"She will be fine in a few days…" he replied. "I want to leave her alone. She had built so many walls around her just for the sake of Keisha that when the walls are crashing down, they are making noise and only she can deal with that."
Adrianna couldn't agree more.
"I am planning to stay here for the next two days," he declared.
Adrianna jumped with joy, "Really?"
He nodded as he tousled her hair. "Yes, it is time I spend my time with you without any distraction. Quality time."
