When Silas and Lisa saw me, their expressions shifted from surprise to delight..
Upon spotting Jones behind me, their smiles took on a complex nuance.
"Eliana, you…." Lisa moved forward, grasping my hand with her usual tender affection, "you're here too?"
"Yeah, I've settled down here." I was surprised that Damon hadn't told Silas and Lisa that we then lived in the same city.
"He mentioned you and Jones were together, and you had two kids. But he didn't say you were here. That's wonderful. It's been too long since we've seen you." Lisa's joy was genuine, and her eyes radiated warmth.
That warmth was my motivation to intervene. Knowing that I was with Jones and had kids, and she was still happy for me, I couldn't just stand by.
I had never denied that Silas and Lisa had always been good to me. They were truly wonderful in- laws.
