Ariah walked into the house and true enough, he aunt pinched her cheeks. "Oh look how you've grown! My my hasn't been such a long time since I've seen you? Why it has been 14 years?"
"Eight years," Ariah corrected her. Her aunt had come and visited them twice and the last time she had seen her was eight years ago. After a little more small talk with the three adults, Ariah excused herself and ran up the stairs to the rooms above. Following her aunt's directions, she found the room she was to stay in. Pushing the door open, Ariah scrunched her nose at the sight that met her. It was entirely too pink for her. Frills, laces and plenty of dolls were the only words she could think of as her bags were set on the bed. Her hands on her hips, Ariah sighed. This would be the place she would be staying in for quite awhile and she had better get used to it.
As she unzipped her back to start unpacking, the doorbell rang and being curious, Ariah walked out and down the stairs just as her aunt opened the door.
"Sarah! Why dear, your parents were looking for you. There were so concerned when you didn't come back home. Are you okay? Would you like to come in?" Hannah spoke so fast that even Ariah could only make out parts of it. Moving down the steps, she peered at the guest and realised she was the girl from the next house. Looking at Sarah, Ariah had a strange feeling she somehow knew the girl but brushed aside the thought and laughed at her own foolishness. How could she even know the girl when this was her first time on Earth.
Hannah looked down at Sarah and waited for the young woman to answer. Stepping away from the door, she invited Sarah in.
