"How have you been?" Ivy asks, breaking the silence between the two of them.
"Good." El says, looking away from her sister.

"Yeah, that hurt but El, all I care about is now and that you are okay. I don't want you to linger on the past." Ivy says.

"Hey, kids." He says and both of them rush up of the floor and pull him into a hug. He laughs as they both bash into him and he wraps them up in his arms.
He feels their tears on his shirt as they hug each other and he holds them tighter, happy to be home.
"I kept it open." El says. "I kept the door open three inches."
