Leo opened the door for Scarlet and led her to the living room and saw that tension between Kitty and Ketan. He stepped to the side and waited to see what would happen.
Scarlet didn't mind the silence but as soon as she saw Alario, she ran towards him and pounced into his arms. "I missed you so much." While she was in his embrace she started crying and pounding his chest.
"I'm back, sorry that it took so long for my return. Who knew that it would take so long to come back to you." He stumbled when she pounced on him and he fell over but protected in the fall. "I missed you so much. Thank you for waiting for me."
Scarlet held on to his shirt and bawled her eyes out. "I hate you but at the same time I love you. Do not ever go away for that long again. I can not handle not knowing what was going to happen or when I would feel your spirit depart from this world. Thank you, Leo and Kitty." She didn't look at them, and kept her head buried in his embrace.
“I never lie," I said offhand. "At least not to those I don't love.”
