Rich smiled, watching as John let go of his daughter's hand and held it out in his direction. He extended his own arm, shaking John's hand before glancing down at the young girl who was now talking to him. Mister Rich, huh? That was cute. "Hello Sophie." He said with a smile before looking back up at Mr. Campbell. "And it's nice to meet you, John." Then he took hold of the other hand that was extended to him, this one belonging to Mrs. Campbell. "Hello Marcy, pleasure to meet you." And she got a smile too. After the greeting were made, Rich leaned forward against the chair as he listened to Marcy and Hoitt talk. He could hear the girls talking in the distance and smiled, happy to know Ella was finally back with her friends and having fun.

When Lucille arrived, Rich tried to prevent himself from laughing out loud. The woman was so perfectly suited for Hoitt that they must surely have been fated to marry. She, like her husband, had that same earthy appearance and relaxed attitude. The man watched, interested, as she began putting away various items that he had never seen before. Was this kind of stuff magic related? If so, Rich wouldn't know much about it.


When Sophie's face appeared at the bottom of the ladder, Ella shrieked with delight. "Sophhhh! Hi!" She called, waving enthusiastically from her place at the top of the ladder. The eleven year old giggled when she heard Carigan warn Sophie not to get squished by the front door. That would be funny...a Sophie sandwich! Haha.
