"So that is why they felt the need to run off into the middle of nowhere."

Oleg stated, sighing as he ran a hand over his face.

"I should have known something because she has been asking weird stuff lately. I just wrote it off as her being a teenager and curious about everything."

He was obviously tired, as it was nearing eleven o'clock and he had been nearly overcome with worry. But now, he just felt as if he could sleep for a decade.

"She asked me something earlier as well but I just figured one of her friends came out or something. I mean, she usually is very blunt about everything." Larissa stated as Inessa came back into the room, looking tired and irritated.

"Sorry about that. My ex husband would not let me off the phone."

She said, taking a seat on the couch before adding

"Katya told me about seeing them kiss. I guess that was what set them off. But the question is how are we going to convince them to come back?"

The whole room was quiet for a few minutes before Oleg spoke.

"We'll wait until morning. Ivan can go back out there to keep an eye on them I mean, neither of them are dumb and besides that....Right now I am tired and I don't think that I could control my temper if I were to see Yulia right now."

He answered, standing up and taking out his cellphone.

"But I am going to give her a call and tell her to bring themselves home once this storm breaks and don't look at me like that Larissa, I am not going to lose my temper."

Yulia felt her phone vibrate, causing her to hold her breath as she flipped it open.

"Hello?"

She whispered, as not to wake Lena who was sleeping beside of her.

"Yulia? Thank God you're okay! What the hell were you trying to do? Give all of us a heart attack? Do you not realize how many people are worried about the two of you?"

Oleg's voice stated through the speaker, causing Yulia to flinch.

"Dad, I can't explain anything but I never...."

She began, feeling close to tears suddenly

"You can't explain? Yulia, Katya told us about you and Lena plus your mother isn't stupid. Just get the both of you home safely once this storm is over."

Yulia sat there in silence for some time, afraid to even speak unless she burst into tears.

"You don't hate me right?"

She finally managed to whisper, though she was terrified of the answer she would receive.

"Yulia, I could never hate you and neither does your mother."
