“Sensei, what are you doing here?” Ruby asked, her eyes widening when she walked through the door and found them waiting in the front room for her. “Aunt Ana said you gone away.”

No hesitated, and for a moment, Lilli wondered if he’d go back to being the hawk. If this newest phase of their relationship had just been words spoken in the extreme heat of the moment.

But then he stood and bowed to the small teen. “Mistakes were made, Ruby-chan. Mostly by me. I am very sorry for this morning’s confusion. I should have left you a note or given you a text so you would know I was not truly leaving Seattle, only taking an unscheduled trip to Portland, so that I could make further arrangements. You see, it was necessary for me to tell my business partner right away that my plans had changed and I would be staying in Seattle until further notice.”

Ruby blinked, probably wondering about No as Lilli had wondered about her a few weeks ago, what body snatcher had paid a visit to this house. But then her niece just smiled up at him and said so very sincerely,

“That’s okay. I’m just glad you back.”

“It is not okay,” he answered with rough dragon shake of his head. And then he presented her with something even Lilli had never been given access to, up until a short while ago: his phone number, written in clean black type along with his name across the front of a crisp white business card.

It was a very formal presentation on No’s part, delivered with a long string of official-sounding Japanese words.

Ceremonious words that Ruby answered with a huge, “Ehhhhh!?!?!” before throwing herself at No’s chest, her thin arms wrapping around him for a big honking American-style hug.

Lilli’s breath caught, wondering how No would respond.

But then she hugged her back—at least as best he could with his arms trapped beneath her tight hold.

And though Lilli had trained herself to stop believing in miracles a long time ago, it was then that she allowed herself to hope.

Maybe this could work. Maybe these completely mismatched pieces could actually become some sort of family.
