At that same time, Lyvana sat having breakfast with lady Glowen.
The two women were discussing Isabel and Damon, who had left earlier that morning for a short trip abroad.
Donovan had gone with them. the adoption had finally been completed and he was now officially Isabel's son.
The mansion already felt emptier without his laughter echoing through the halls.
"I still can't believe how attached I became to that child," Lady Glowen murmured with a fond smile as she stirred her tea.
Lyvana smiled softly.
"They'll be back before you know it," she reminded her gently.
Before Lady Glowen could answer, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped tightly around Lyvana's shoulders from behind.
"Guess who's back!" Lyvana instantly recognized the voice and her entire face lit up.
"Emy!"
Emily laughed as Lyvana turned in her chair to hug her properly.
"I missed you so much," Emily complained dramatically before glancing toward the head of the table. "Good morning, Lady Glowen."
