When the doors to the house opened, Anderson was the first to step in and his eyes darkened instantly.
He looked over his shoulder just in time to see Rebecca step in with the kids.
"Hey." She called.
"Grandma!"
The twins broke free from Rebecca's hold in a flash, their little voices ringing out in unison as they sprinted toward the figure seated on one of the sofas. Their excitement filled the room in just a second.
"Grandma?" Rebecca repeated under her breath, her brows furrowing in confusion.
She tried to catch a glimpse of what they were so eager about, but Anderson:s broad frame blocked her view.
Straining her neck, she leaned around him, her heart skipping a beat when her eyes landed on the woman sitting on the sofa.
A woman she hadn't seen in years. A woman who... looked too much like her mother.
"Mom...?" Rebecca whispered softly to herself, her voice barely audible, as her lips parted slightly while her pulse quickened.
"You... came back?"
