Alma watches the children through the kitchen window playing in the backyard like they usually do during the afternoons. Afternoons were always free time for all of them because they didn't have any duties to do. As the younger children played, the older children were probably somewhere else doing their stuff.

Olive was most likely with Enoch, watching him play and experiment with his puppets. The two of them got along once again and Enoch promised to not treat Olive badly like he used to. On the other hand, Emma is presumably reading a book in her room or under tree

Time went on like it usually does, the waiting of Inara's arrival became longer with each second passing by. Everyone knows the promise Inara had made the day she left, but with almost a year gone by, the children are starting to think that she would one day come back to them as an old lady like her grandmother did

In the beginning, the Headmistress doesn't want to take in the theories and ideas that the children had thought about. Alma was hopeful that one day Inara would come back still in her youth, so she'd be with her

The Headmistress had processed and analysed her feelings towards the woman who had visited them and finally knew what her emotions meant and the reason behind it. However, with almost a year ending Alma was beginning to doubt that she'd ever be with the woman and maybe the idea of Inara coming back as an old woman may be true

Alma's heart just thinks about Inara falling in love with someone else, but what can she do? She has to stay in the Loop for the young ones and she can't leave the Loop because the years would catch up on to her and might potentially lead to her death, so her only option is to wait for Inara return

Alma closes her eyes, remembering the feeling of having Inara by her side and just keeping each other accompanied. She misses her dearly. Then out of nowhere, she felt a warm set of hands covering her eyes and a heated body leaning against her back. Alma's breath hitches, having no idea who this person might be, but the sweet and soft voice gave it all away "Guess who"

"I-Inara?" Alma replied with a stutter. Once the hand was lifted off of her eyes and felt the body move away from her Alma slowly turned around. Her eyes widen as it was indeed, Inara behind her

"Hello, you!" giggled the woman, then Alma didn't any time and went in for a hug to which Inara didn't hesitate to give back "Aww, I missed you too!" Alma then pulled away

"It's been so long! How are you? Where have you been? We were all wondering how you are and if you're alright or if you're ever coming back to us! And your hair! It is short now!" Alma exclaimed as she pointed at Inara's hair
