Darren smiled at Sofia, it a smile that was full of love and there was something else, loss, sadness? However, Sofia chooses to ignore that part and decided to focus on the things ahead of her, especially the people that have been standing here the whole time. She felt bad for not acknowledging them for being here. Things may be too much for her to handle right now, but she was going to pull through it because she was Sofia and she kept herself together at any cost.
Darren cleared his throat, the silence becoming a bit awkward right now.....
"Father, I think we should let Sofia rest for a while, she's been through a lot lately..." said Darren and turned to look her father.
The king nodded and as everyone was about to turn to leave, Sofia called out causing everyone to look at her.
"Does Darren call you father all the time?" She asked the king curiously
The king chuckled at this, "Sweetie, you can call me anything you like!"
Sofia beamed at her father and said, "then I want to call you "Dad" all the time, cause I don't think I'll be able to call you father every time because I'm not used it"
Sofia looked at them sheepishly causing everyone to laugh which brightened up the serious atmosphere immediately.
As they all headed out, everyone gave Sofia a heart-warming smile that made her realise something once again, SHE BELONGED IN THIS PLACE!
Darren was almost about to walk out as he turned sharply almost making Sofia think he was a speedster.
He ran up to Sofia and hugged her and said, "It's soo good to have you back little sister, I missed you soo much! oh and by the way I'm having a sleepover tonight in my room, so everyone will be there so if you are feeling well enough you are more than welcome to join us" he paused for a second and then said again " besides it will a good opportunity to meet everyone". By this time Darren was beaming at her so she smiled back, she never truly felt happier before.....
Darren said one last thing that Sofia would never forget,
"When you were gone, I felt like my whole world just crashed, even though father was there to pick me up every time I fell, it never felt the same without you and mother, Oh I'm soo glad your back Sofia so welcome back baby sister, now the light has finally come out and I can freely Smile!"
