She had just finished breakfast and was about to head to the study to read when she got a call from Uncle Murray. He said that Juliet Brennan was coming to Riverton today, accompanied by Benson Brennan, who was preparing to return to work.
Anastasia was surprised. “Today? Why didn’t Juliet tell me?”
She asked for the flight’s arrival time and, seeing it was in just two hours, she changed her clothes and headed to the airport to pick them up.
“Anastasia!”
Juliet’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Anastasia. She ran forward and threw her arms around her.
“I’ve missed you so much,” she said, her voice a mix of excitement and longing.
Anastasia hugged her back, smiling as she nuzzled her cousin’s soft cheek. “I’ve missed you too.”
Benson walked up behind them, dragging a suitcase. He stopped in front of Anastasia.
Anastasia gave him a questioning look.
“You hugged my cousin. Aren’t you going to hug me?” he asked, his expression unreadable.
Anastasia’s mouth twitched. She generously gave him a hug. “I missed you too!”
Juliet giggled beside them and tattled, “Anastasia, he really did miss you. He kept nagging me while I was studying, asking why I was so slow and hadn’t finished my books yet. If he wasn’t waiting for me, he would’ve run off to Riverton to find you ages ago!”
Anastasia immediately turned her head. “Is that true?”
Benson looked a bit flustered and shot Juliet a warning glance. “I have urgent work to attend to. My manager has been calling me nonstop.”
“Oh, I see!” Anastasia stifled a laugh, deciding not to expose him further.
After leaving the airport, the three of them had lunch. Afterwards, Anastasia asked Juliet where she wanted to stay.
