An enchanting necklace

Isabella's pov:

"Bella, my little girl." Dad was the first one to break the silence as he stood up and walked towards me.

I was still standing at the doorway, gazing at him who looked at me just for a second and then shifted his gaze towards the ground. 

Dad hugged me tightly and I snapped out of my stance. 

"What took you so long, we have been waiting for you." mom said as she sat up and walked towards me. 

"I had to visit a friend, Why didn't you tell me? I would have come early." I hugged him back and asked him and mom too. 

"We thought to give you a surprise." They both said in unison and then laughed, looking at each other. I laughed with them. 

"Elizabeth?" After meeting mom, I asked for the person whom I missed the most. 

"She couldn't come this time sweetheart." 

"Oh," my face fell. 

"Come on, sit with us." Uncle said but I apologized.
