Erika arrived at the mansion and saw Jake playing with John and Luca together, while Jude supervised them. She watched them for a little while before she walked back inside the house.

Opening the door to her room, she noticed a figure inside. Sneakily, she hugged the person from behind, catching them off guard.

"You are home early," she commented as she took a deep breath before releasing it.

"Not really, it's already dinner time. I was wondering where you'd gone but Jude said you didn't say anything," Erika replied, turning around so that she could hug him more properly. He nuzzled his nose in her neck to breathe in her scent before he asked, "Are you okay?"

Erika nodded as she continued to hug Ethan tightly but he didn't mind.

"I went to see Felicia in jail today," she commented, looking up at him she noticed how his hand that was about to stroke her hair paused midair. "And she wants to see Jake."
