Camille stood with Mia in the airport hall in Los Angeles and looked around. So many memories were associated with this place. How many times had she stood here to say goodbye to Logan when he and the boys were on tour again, or to greet him after the tour? And again there was the sting in her body. She sighed inwardly and kept looking for Carlos and Alexa. Finally she saw the two. She tapped Mia on the shoulder and then pointed to the exit. "Look, Mia, there they are."

They walked towards the two. For a moment nothing happened. They just stood in front of each other and were silent. Then Carlos started to beam. "Hi, Cami."

Camille returned his smile and hugged him. It was so good to see him again. While Alexa introduced herself to Mia and started a conversation with her, Camille whispered in Carlos's ear, "Thank you."

He grinned. They watched Alexa and Mia talking and Carlos murmured, "Wow ... she looks just like you."

Camille smiled. "Yes, but she has his eyes and smile. And his IQ."

Carlos laughed and Mia and Alexa turned to the two. Camille smiled at Mia. "You have already met Alexa and this is Carlos."

Now Carlos and Mia greeted each other while Alexa hugged Camille. "I'm glad to see you again, Camille."

"Me too."


While driving through the city, Camille watched her daughter, who looked out of the window enthusiastically. She obviously liked Los Angeles and Camille was happy that she was back. Even if the circumstances were not that great.


They reached the house and Camille was amazed. "Wow."

Carlos laughed. "Yes, it's great, isn't it? In any case, we have plenty of room for guests. And for our dogs."

"Really? Dogs?" Mia asked suspiciously. Alexa smiled. "Don't worry, Mia. The two are very kind and trusting. You will like them. I promise."

In fact, it didn't take long for Mia to love the two dogs, Sydney and Sasha. And she romped around with them until jet lag finally got the upper hand. Carlos showed Camille the room Mia could sleep in and Camille put her to bed. Then she joined Carlos and Lex, who were sitting in the living room. They exchanged stories. Carlos and Lex told her about the events that had happened here over the past five years and in return Camille told about her life in Paris. Then there was silence until Carlos finally cleared his throat and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Camille sighed. She had no idea. "To be honest, I don't know. I want to fulfill Mia's wish, but I can't just go to Logan and tell him everything. I think we need a plan."

Carlos grinned. "Don't worry, I already have an idea ..."
