UKRAINE
___________________________________

Zoe arrived in the Ukraine at 10am on the dot and they drove from the airport all the way to her grandma's house where she was greeted with open arms.

"Zoe! My sumuvaly za toboyu," her grandma, Olesya greeted. Zoe chuckled, smiling as she gladly accepted the woman's hug. "my takozh sumuvaly za toboyu, Robert," Olesya then moved to hug Robert.

[Zoe! We missed you]
[We missed you also, Robert]

"Zdrastuyte," Robert said, he was fluent in Ukrainian, he made sure to learn the language so he could teach Zoe. That's also why he continued to return to the Ukraine, he loved the country, but with his wife being dead, not so much anymore. But Zoe deserved to have something left of her mother and this was it, visiting her mothers's family and learning Ukrainian so she can speak to them.

[Hello]

Zoe headed to her room, she only visited once a year, but her grandma had a 5 bedroom house, which means she had enough rooms to fit Robert and Zoe. Zoe slept in Ivanna's old room. Ivanna was her mother, hence why Zoe's middle name is Ivanna.

Zoe's uncle and aunt, as well as her cousin, came running inside. "O bozhe miy, Zoe!" Her cousin, Anton yelled, running over to her and giving her a hug. "Tse bulo duzhe dovho," he said, giving her tightly. Zoe chuckled and hugged him back.

[Oh my god, Zoe]
[Its been so long]

Her uncle, Yakiv and her aunt, Lera also hugged her. Zoe felt like she belonged here, this was the place for her. When Zoe grew up and had enough money she was going to leave America and moved to the Ukraine where she can be with her family, hopefully her father will come with her, but if not she's going anyway. Nothing can hold her back, not even Billy could stop her. It was a beautiful country, it was Zoe's country. She was always meant to be here.

While in the Ukraine, Zoe never feel alone, there was always something to do and someone to talk to. Zoe and Anton where the best of friends, they were close in age and did everything together.

Zoe didn't want to leave, but at the same time she did. Only to see Billy and finally become his official girlfriend.
