"Yeah, I'll be there. Alright, love you girls." Medusa said softly into the phone, hearing the reply from her daughters. She pocketed her phone and blinked when she felt someone collide with her back.
"I am so sorry, ma'am! I didn't mean to walk into you, I wasn't paying attention." That voice made Medusa's heart stop, the one voice that was able to get through her tough attitude, a voice that belonged to the only woman who was able to witness the soft and romantic side of her.
Slowly Medusa turned to face the person who sounded so much like her... Her eyes widened and her lips parted slightly as she stared into those all too familiar brown eyes.

Medusa chuckled lightly and pressed her lips to Elissa's forehead, taking the shorter woman into her arms. "I missed you, I missed you so much..." Medusa whispered, not even caring that her voice cracked and broke. That wasn't important to her right now...
Elissa smiled softly and closed her eyes, resting her chin on Medusa's shoulder. "Guess the gods decided to take pity on us..." She whispered, hearing Medusa let out a weak chuckle.
"That they did." Medusa whispered back, letting out a quiet sigh. "That they did..."
