See You Soon

The Heavenly Mother joined everyone else in the living room. She glanced at Tobias. He looked happy as he conversed with Ariel.

She would have loved to give him more time. But she didn't want to be gone from Heaven for too long. And she didn't want Tobias' father to send someone looking for him either.

So she asked her grandson, "Tobias, I think it's time that we return."

"Returning already?" Ariel pouted a little upon hearing that.

The Goddess glanced at Tobias and said to Ariel, "I will bring him back if he wishes to meet you again."

Ariel looked at Tobias with expectant eyes and a smile on her face.

Tobias put the teacup down on the table and cleared his throat. And he spoke as if he was still not sure about meeting again, "Let's see. I will first have to make sure that my schedule allows me to come by."
