Julia giggled when her mom scooped her right up for the reunion that was going on. She breathed in a deep breath and just sagged against them both for a minute, just listening to the two of them. Relief swept over her, the idea that he was never coming back wasn't something that had occurred to her really. She knew what the future looked like.
"Where'd you go?" She asked Kyle, her little fingers closing around the material of his shirt as he looked down at her.
She kicked a little bit until Solvei let go of her and she slid back down to the ground. Grabbing both of her parents' hands she started to pull them back inside towards the house. She had to pull hard until the two of them gave in and let her lead them back upstairs and inside of Solvei's apartment.
Letting go of their hands she bounded up the stairs taking them two at a time until she was back at her coloring book. Ripping the Spongebob picture free of the book, she skipped back over to Kyle and handed it to him. "It's for you." She told him.
