It took a long time for the four of us to break apart. When we did, it was Artem who left first. I knew that he had other things that he needed to do so I wasn't worried about him leaving my side for the time being. I had other people here to keep me company right now. I finally had the family that I should have had all along.
I heard whispered voices about moving into the other dining room down the hall, but I didn't pay them any attention. I was too wrapped up in this moment. This moment and the arms of my parents.
Oddly enough, this was the first time I felt like a child since I was saved by Artem. I haven't actually felt like a child in years, but right now I did. Right now, I felt like all I wanted were my parents. And that was fine because I had them.
