Lyra Westengard paced around the entrance of the airport as her brother, Thomas, watched her. He frowned while watching her brush her light brown hair out of her face.
"You need to keep it together, Ice Queen…for Scarlet," he said.
It had been around six years since they last saw their younger sister after the deaths of their parents and their decision to move away from their family home, leaving Scarlet to live with their aunt and uncle.
"I know, Tommy, but it's been so long. What if she still hates us for leaving her?" Lyra asked. "I can't let her see me like this…"
Thomas put his hand on her shoulder and said, "She won't hate us. Scarlet is one to easily forgive, remember? I bet she'll be more than happy to see us."
Lyra nodded and ran her hands through her hair. How she hoped that Scarlet wasn't mad at her and Thomas…
"Miss Westengard, look over here!" a photographer said as he took a photo of Scarlet.
"Smile, sweetie!"
"You look perfect!"
She laughed and flipped her dark red hair at the photographers while walking towards baggage claim. Part of her was a bit worried about seeing her older brother and sister again, but first, she needed to put on this front and get her bags before meeting them again.
It had been six years since she last saw them…how have things changed with them? What would their reaction when they find out that now she was this famous model?
Thomas looked through the crowd that came through baggage claim while Lyra adjusted her headband and smoothed out her skirt. The moment was coming…
"I think I see her…" he said when he saw Scarlet grab her bags.
Lyra let out a sigh and said to him, "Here goes nothing."
They slowly walked towards their sister, raising an eyebrow at the sea of cameramen in the distance.
"We've got this, Ice Queen. She's our sister." Thomas said.
Scarlet gasped when she saw them and asked, "Lyra? Tommy?"
She ran up to them, bag in tow, before hugging them. Lyra could feel tears welling up in her eyes as she and Thomas hugged her back.
There wasn't any resentment or anything like that. They were together again and nothing was going to break them apart again…
