Ice and Fire novel Chapter 724

At the international airport

Violet and Greg were waiting at the arrivals gate.

"Why has Alice not come out yet? The plane is supposed to have already arrived by now." Violet kept anxiously looking at her watch.

"The plane might be delayed. Just wait a bit more," Greg reassured his wife, seeing that she could not wait to see Alice.

Violet nodded her head and kept looking out every time someone got out of the gate.

Then, in the middle of the crowd, there stood a woman dressed in luxurious clothing. Every piece of her outfit was extremely special. The design of her clothes and her accessories which included her bracelet and necklace were quite unique. Ordinary people would normally not dress as such. Her sunglasses were so large that they covered most of her face. With flaxen curly hair, she looked radiant. In a well-designed coat, 10 cm. heels, the latest Dior handbag and small grey suitcase, she walked swiftly out of the exit.

By this time, Greg had joined Violet in scanning the crowd to find Alice's familiar face.

Although half covered by her sunglasses, Alice's face showed a big smile. When she saw the two so nervous and anxious, it made her feel special and happy. She especially noticed that Violet obviously couldn't wait to see her and she was touched. The once little girl, held her very dear to her heart.

Alice approached them and stood right in front of Violet. She stared at Violet without saying a word, enjoying those few seconds as she was about to surprise her.

For a split second, Violet noticed a strange woman in front of her but she ignored the woman, focusing her attention on the exit where a few more people had come out. 'What's taking Alice so long?' Violet was starting to get impatient.

"Excuse me, who are you waiting for?" Alice pretended to be a stranger and teased.

Hearing the familiar voice, Violet could't help but turn to look at Alice still wearing her over sized sunglasses and staring at her. But after a quick and careful once over, she became wide eyed when she realized the this woman was indeed Alice.

"Alice!" She gave out a loud and joyful shriek which attracted the attention of the people around them.

Violet jumped up and down as she hugged Alice tightly.

Alice took off her sunglasses and happily held Violet,"Oh my god! Violet, I finally got to see you!"

After a few more moments of happy screams and lots of hugging, Violet and Alice stopped and looked at each other.

Violet complained,"You knew that I came here to pick you up. Why did you have to wear such big sunglasses?"

Alice took of her sunglasses. "Ha ha, because I want to check if you'd still remember me or not. You two didn't recognize me just now. I'm the one who should be upset." As she said so, she turned to look at Greg.

She thought to herself, 'What a mature and handsome man! He looks a lot more masculine than I imagined. I only hope that he loves Violet forever. Five years is a long time and a lot of things could change for a couple in that span of time. But Greg and Violet are standing here together and I am happy. They make a wonderful couple. They look like their relationship is going strong. As long as they get along well, I'll be at peace. As long as Violet is happy, I'm happy.'
