Eliza danced her way through the front door, her bag swinging wildly. "I'm back, I'm back, I'm back!" she sang, a silly grin plastered on her face. Her father emerged from the living room, a surprised look on his face.

"Oh, it's so good to be home!" she declared, her eyes sparkling. She kicked off her shoes, her socks landing in a heap by the door. She went to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of sparkling water, taking a big gulp. A sense of belonging, and the security that came with it, filled her.
