Back In New York

"Welcome back home, Mister Loriel and Miss Elise." Horatio's voice rang within the penthouse. "Shall we receive your luggage and take them to your rooms?"

"Oh thank you. You guys did an amazing job at keeping the penthouse sparkling." Elise eyed the area and it felt like the two of them have never left at all. 

It was exactly the same before they left for Japan.

Even before they arrived, Loriel left instructions for the AI butler to keep everything clean and spotless.

Not to mention that there was even a small banner that said just those words.

Elise smiled and thanked Horatio right before she was met with the onslaught of the two cats. Both Pott and Pebbles had missed them terribly and she was the same. 

Loriel watched Elise get down on her knees and pet the two cats.

She really missed being in the penthouse. Loriel was actually glad about this because it meant that Elise saw this place as her home now.
