The return of a beloved daughter.

"Slow down big guy, you are going to throw me down." She laughed as she caressed the big dog. It was trying its best to lick her face but she kept dodging.

"Chi Lian, so you know how to find your way home again." Mama Chi said. She was standing in the door way and looking at her with an unimpressed look.

"Mother, shouldn't you be hugging your daughter?"

"I will hug my daughter when she stops playing around with the dog."

Chi Lian abandoned Black guard and went in for a hug with a mother.

"Mother, Chi-Chi missed you so much." She said childishly. 

As her mother caressed her hair, she tightened the hug and rubbed her head against her chest like a kitten. It was really nice having a mother. Her warmth alone was enough to make her close her eyes and fall asleep with sweet dreams.

"Such a grown woman but you are still acting like a baby."

 "I am not so grown that I stopped your being your baby."
