"Ah, finally! Welcome back!" She says, giving me a full childish pure smile that should not come from a kid towards a stranger, and yet even odder than that is the words she utters which make me frown at her.

The girl is petite, girlish in her white fluffy full of ribbons dress as well as on her curly black hair, and carried a glint innocence yet mysteriousness in her big brown eyes that looked up at me, as caramel as her skin, framed by a small little face that brimmed with happiness. "Father will be happy now that you are back."

"Excuse me?" I say, but then someone, no, two known people come from behind her, speaking and taking my attention off of the child for a moment.
