She put off the pup plan for later and left her wing. She was more than late for the conference, over ten minutes late. She would have to start off by offering apologies.
As soon as she stepped out of her wing, she was grabbed and swooped up by someone who forced her into a bear like hug. The smell of the hugger was that of Adler so she relaxed.
"I am going to kill you and you deserve it." he told her.
"You will have to first let me go." she banged her fist against his back.
He was holding her as if he wanted to crush her bones.
"Let go of my daughter so that I can get in a hug as well." her father said.
Adler spun her from side and side and she noticed that everyone from the family was there, including her brother's girlfriends. What they were doing here, she had no idea since they had not made any prior plans to meet.
"Oh! why are you all here?" she stretched her head over Adler's broad shoulders to ask them.
