Leave & Home [2]

It took us a whole day to reach Roswell city—it usually takes half a day but since we took several breaks along the way and traveled with comfort, it took us a little extra time. 

We had spent the night in an inn on the roadside, and by noon of the next day Anya and I were walking down the road that led to our house. 

The area around here hadn't changed at all, and actually, why would it change? It had only been four months since we left and while it may have felt like a long time to us, out here in the world it was nothing so much. 

"Have you informed them that we are coming?" I asked Anya as we walked alongside. 

"No, I haven't," she replied. "I was thinking of giving them a surprise." 

"That's a neat idea, count me in." 

Honestly, I was more than interested in seeing Ron's face when we arrive at the doorstep out of nowhere. 

"I'm betting a hundred thousand C that he will cry," I proposed.
