James had been excited about returning home. After several years of academic work, he was finally going to settle in his home town. He already had a job secured for him at the King's hospital and even if he wasn't going to be occupying a major position, he could find his way to the top in only a matter of years. He had asked his parents to not try to influence anything and let him handle his business himself. Thankfully, they trusted him.
As soon as he stepped out of the airport, he saw his younger brother and sister just arriving in his brother's car. Rachel was the first to jump on him, planting kisses on both sides of his cheeks.
"I missed you, James! Welcome back."
"I missed you too. And stop this, you are embarrassing me."
Rachel giggled but let go of him.
"Welcome back, bro. I am hoping you got me a lot of goodies in those bags."
