Before returning to her homeland, Cherish Turner only notified Elijah Butler and asked him not to tell anyone. In fact, during the past two years, except for Elijah, she didn't keep in contact with anyone else. She just wanted some peace and quiet until she could return without feeling so emotional. Standing in front of the tombstone, she genuinely felt at peace.
As they left the cemetery, Elijah drove and said, "I'll make you food when we get home. You can see if my cooking has improved! Do you know, your sudden return made me nervous for days. This time you won't leave will you? Living overseas full-time isn't great, just look at the rapid development in Seaside City these past two years. Please come back, don't leave again!"
"Also, would it be alright to invite Frank to dinner later?" Elijah glanced at her while turning the steering wheel.
Cherish responded with a hum, offering no resistance.
Meeting with old friends for a meal was, after all, a pretty common occurrence.
