Upon landing at the airport, Sonia greeted Ariana. Sonia glanced at the lively Melon and scooped him up. "My darling's back! Let me give you a hug and check if you've slimmed down," she teased with a smile.

"I'm stronger now!" Melon exclaimed proudly, goofing around with Sonia.

Ariana smiled, watching them. Hand in hand with Melon, they strolled out of the airport, chatting along the way.

Once they were in the car, Ariana said to Sonia, “Could you swing by a mobile store first? My SIM card's acting up. I need to replace it.”

"Sure thing." Sonia nodded, starting the car and spilling some gossip.
