In The Eyes of the Beholder

"Please explain properly," Shia said, sighing. "I don't understand anything about this at all."

"Wait." he looked at his watch. "She should be here any minute now."

"She?" Aliya asked when they heard a gasp and turned to the side to see Faith staring at them.

"Glad you could make it." Ran said, pulling up a chair for her to sit on. "We ordered you some kind of fruit juice, I hope you don't mind."

"Faith!" Aliya instantly ran to hug her friend, tears streaming down her face. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too." Faith said, hugging her friend back tight. "I can't believe that I got to see you again."

They pulled out of the hug and Aliya chuckled, "You look awful."

"So do you." Faith laughed as well. "Seriously though, you look much better. I am glad you can move now."

"I am better." She grinned at her. "Come on. Sit beside me."
