"Thank you for persuading him to come to us."
"It was actually his idea," Andrzej explained.
"Really?" she rejoiced.
"One hundred percent," he nodded, smiling warmly.
"Thank God! I thought he didn't want to see us. However, I prayed that he would come home like the Prodigal Son."
Prodigal son? What is she talking about?
"You have a beautiful house," he said.
"Thank you. It has recently been renovated. Our younger son, Olek, is a very talented builder. You'll meet him because he's in the living room. Please."
