Elizabeth looked back to see her mother, Caroline Liones. 

"What are you doing here?" Elizabeth asked, turning around. "I'm staying at a hotel nearby." 

Elizabeth nodded, "Alright, see you around." She then turned around to continue walking back home but Caroline stopped her. "Wait!"

She stopped, "I have something important to tell you."

"Then say it already." Elizabeth faced her, arms crossed. "Can we at least talk at a decent place? Can we go to my hotel room to talk?"

Elizabeth sighed, "Alright, but not for too long."

The two of them entered Caroline's room and sat on one of the chairs. "What did you want to talk about?"

 "You're probably suspicious, since I've just started talking to your sisters then now i'm here with you." Caroline calmly started. 

"That's correct." Elizabeth shrugged, "What do you have in stored for me, mother? A shopping spree? Support for one of my games?"

Caroline shook her head, giving her a small box. "What's this?"

"Open it." Caroline told her. Elizabeth cautiously opened the box and it revealed a blue earring. 

"Where's the other pair?" Elizabeth asked, Caroline chuckled. "There is no other pair, it's just that."

"What's this for?" Elizabeth questioned, "Are you bribing my trust?"

"Heavens, no!" Caroline exclaimed, "I bought that for you when I was in Switzerland. I wanted to give my daughters something when I would come back, but, that took longer than expected."

Elizabeth took a good look at the earring and looked at Caroline, "You planned to come back?" 

"Of course, I knew it was wrong. I knew that you wouldn't accept me immediately, I know I hurt you. So, I planned to come back but so many things came up." Caroline explained. 

"Don't you have a family out there?" Elizabeth asked refusing to look at her mother.

"No, how could I ever replace my angels?" Caroline told her, she just continued to look at other things.

"I know I did all those things, I regret everything now. I always wanted to see you and your sisters to grow up, but since I had already left, I couldn't bring myself to comeback." Caroline explained.

Elizabeth tried to fight back the tears that were threatening to leave her eyes. It got a lot harder to keep it in because Caroline proceeded to hug her. 

"I'm so sorry about everything, I know you can't forgive me immediately, but please give me another chance to be with you and your sisters again." Caroline hugged her tightly, tears already streaming down her face. 

Elizabeth still fought back the tears, she didn't know if she was supposed to giver her a chance or not. 

"I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you got injured on that run, when I couldn't even help you when you were recovering, I'm so sorry that I was never there." That was what made Elizabeth hug her back and cried. 

"I never thought that i'd get to hug you again." Elizabeth told her, muffled through the tears.

"Meliodas is your.. boyfriend?" Caroline asked, as soon as they were ready to talk. 

Elizabeth shook her head, "Not yet." 

"I like him for you." Caroline gave her a smile, "Don't be mad at him, but he helped me realize what I should do." 

Elizabeth rose her brow, she never heard anything like that from him. "He probably didn't want to tell you while you were mad. But, before we ended our talk, she told me that he didn't want to see you stressing about me."
