Leonie's POV:

As I arrived at Joe's house, I took a deep breath and headed to the door. I knocked and waited before I heard someone coming. I looked down as they opened the door and heard a very surprised sounding Barry. I looked up before gasping and saying, "I'm just here to see Joe and Iris. I haven't seen them yet so I decided to come to surprise them. I just didn't realize you would be here." He nodded and said, "Oh, uhm, come in. I guess it might not be as big a surprise now but, they know about the Krypta thing. Both of them." I nodded and walked in. I stood in the entrance way, kind of awkward before Joe said, "Hey Barry who was at the door?" As he came into the entryway he stopped talking and just stared at me. After a couple seconds, Iris came in and just stared at me before coming over and wrapping me in a big hug. Before letting me go she whispered a quiet thank you and walked back to Joe. She nudged him on the arm before coming over and hugging me and apologizing about everything that happened before I left. I felt tears come to my eyes and I said, "It's fine. I have been over it. It doesn't matter. It's fine." He nodded and let go of me before standing next to Iris. Iris came back over and wiped away the tears that were on my cheeks before asking, "Do you want to stay over? Now that Barry and I have moved out, Dad needs some visitors." I smiled and said, "I can't tonight. I have to go back to my apartment because Tom and I are getting pizza. But you guys could come too if you want. I know he would enjoy the company and making friends with people here in Central City." Iris raised her eyebrows and said, "Who is this Tom?" I laughed before saying, "He is my boyfriend. And he would enjoy making new friends so what do you say?" Iris looked at Barry and he sighed before nodding and she came to me and said, "Yay we are coming." I nodded and offered a ride to which they agreed. We got in the car and headed to my house. When we got there, I headed to the door and unlocked the door before leading them inside. Tom had just finished making the pizza when I walked in. I gave him a peck on the lips before introducing him to Iris and Barry. He said hello to both and then Iris pulled me into the living room and whispered, "How come you never told me your boyfriend was a hot, French guy?" I laughed before saying, "I didn't think it would be so important." She laughed with me before we went back into the kitchen.
