As I received the message from the Ethereal Echoes company, my heart skipped a beat. They were offering me a collaboration with the band, a chance to reunite with the musicians I had once called family. Excitement and nostalgia flooded my senses as I eagerly agreed to the meeting.

When the day of the meeting arrived, I found myself sitting in a conference room with the members of the company, their eyes fixed on me expectantly. They wasted no time in getting to the point.

"Marguerite, we're thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you again," the head of the company began, their voice tinged with excitement. "We'd like to offer you a substantial sum for a collaboration with Ethereal Echoes when they return home from their tour."

I listened intently, grateful for the offer, but something inside me stirred. Before I could stop myself, the words spilled out.

"Thank you for the offer, but I have something else in mind," I said, surprising even myself.

The room fell silent, the members of the company exchanging puzzled glances. "Go on," they prompted, curiosity evident in their voices.

"I want to propose a different arrangement," I continued, my heart pounding in my chest. "Instead of a collaboration, I'd like to rejoin Ethereal Echoes as a permanent member of the band."

The shock in the room was palpable, but as we discussed the details of my proposal, the excitement grew. The idea of me reuniting with the band seemed to resonate with everyone present, and soon we were hashing out the specifics of a contract.

But as we finalized the details, I made one request—a request to keep the contract a secret from Zavier and the rest of the band until they returned home from their tour. The members of the company agreed, understanding the significance of the surprise.

As I left the meeting, a sense of exhilaration coursed through me. The thought of rejoining Ethereal Echoes filled me with a sense of purpose and excitement, and I couldn't wait to see the looks on their faces when they discovered the surprise waiting for them at home.

As I stood amidst the bustling crowd at the airport, my heart pounded with excitement and nerves. The anticipation of seeing Zavier again after months apart was almost overwhelming, and I couldn't wait to wrap him in a tight embrace.

Despite the chaos of the airport, with fans and media milling about, I kept my eyes fixed on the arrivals board, waiting for Zavier's flight to be announced. And then, finally, the moment arrived. His flight number flashed on the screen, and I felt a surge of adrenaline course through me.

As the passengers began to disembark, my heart raced with anticipation. And then, amidst the sea of faces, I spotted him—Zavier, stepping off the plane with a weary but unmistakable smile on his face.

Without hesitation, I pushed my way through the crowd, my heart pounding in my chest. I could hear the excited chatter of fans and the clicking of cameras, but all I could focus on was the sight of Zavier, getting closer and closer with each step.

And then, finally, we were face to face. His eyes widened in surprise as he spotted me, and then, as recognition dawned, his smile grew even wider.

"Marguerite!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with joy as he pulled me into a tight embrace.

I felt the weight of the world melt away as I wrapped my arms around him, lost in the moment of our reunion. The noise of the crowd faded into the background as we held each other, savoring the sweetness of being together again after so long apart.

And as we pulled apart, Zavier's eyes sparkled with gratitude and love. "I can't believe you're here," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

I grinned, feeling a rush of happiness and relief wash over me. "I wouldn't miss it for the world," I replied, my voice filled with emotion.
