Chapter 152 Home, At Last, My Love

• Walking side by side, both men stride down the stairs ever so gracefully, beaming smiles on their bright faces, with eyes twinkling with delight as their faces met those of men and women employees standing in wait and bowing slightly for a small nod from them before turning back to their workstations and working diligently, all except one who seemed to be more than a little preoccupied. She didn't seem to notice them until Easton tapped her softly on the shoulder and the little girl turned and immediately began to run into her father's waiting embrace. Alexander went on his knees and hugged his growing beautiful little lady, picking her up and twirling her around, both father and daughter's laughter rang throughout the house like the sweetest melody. His smile was genuine as he set his daughter back onto her feet and looked up to acknowledge Easton who was standing beside Michael and wearing a contagious smile on his handsome face. Alexander approached him and both friends clasped hands and kissed each other's cheeks, then Alexander embraced him and they held this hug for a moment longer. Alexander released his best friend and went over to Michael and took the offered hand, shaking hands and sharing warmth with their eyes and smiles.
• "Lunch is served," DuBois announced from the doorway, one hand motioning outdoors.
• Alexander nodded and took his daughter by the hand and together all five members of the family began to walk out of the door with Easton, Matthew, and Michael walking ahead of father and daughter, leaving them behind to catch up. Matthew had ordered that their lunch be served by the seaside and that is where they were headed. Allison talked calmly with her father as they walked, both sharing warm smiles and loving gazes as they talked.
