Vanessa hugged Riley back and giggled some. ''Of course not silly, I needed it to be a secret and a big surprise and you don't know the biggest surprise yet'' she said and waited a moment before she would tell Riley she was staying for the rest of her life. She first looked at Sarah and grinned. ''Growing up doesn't mean that old habits are gonna leave you'' she said and giggled. ''And oh well, even though most of the time I'm the one ending at the first aid, I like too bump into Kade, he is most of the time very nice'' she said and looked at the guy. Yes, he had grown up into a fine man but she was sure he had seen some awful things as everybody knew he had served for the country.

The last summer they had met and bumped into each other, had been two years before Vanessa decided to take of after her last summer at her grand parents house, she had always loved her summers and even when she was old enough to not go anymore, she still had gone and loved her time in Red Lake. She though back about her summers but was taken away from her memory and squealed a little as Sarah putted something cold on her foot. ''Dang.. That is cold'' she said and sighed.

She then looked at Riley. ''Could you grab the green leather handmade bag with a tree of life on it for me?'' she asked and when Riley came back with the bag and wanted to give it to her she raised a brow and shook her head. ''No no, it is yours.. Inside there are presents from the countries I've been too and before you open that I wanna ask you if you wanna help me re-paint the house of my grand parents... I loved them and as a kid I kinda liked the flowers but to live in it myself is just.. Too flowery'' she said with a giggle and waited for Riley to get the meaning behind her question.
