Luan look down "I know, believe me, I hated her because she caused it too, but if we don't forgive her we can't leave this incident behind. Lincoln will come back today and the only thing he expected of us was for us to continue to be the loving family he remembered. On The least we owe it to him after not seeing each other for so many years"

Lynn heard it all from the door. "Owe him? Having not heard from him or received a letter since New Year's Day about two years ago? Count me out." Lynn took very personally the fact that Lincoln had not written any letters in all that time, although This man is blind, but he can always ask pop pop to do so, except that what hurts her the most about this is that she secretly loved Lincoln since her childhood and seeing him go caused pain in her heart that could not be healed. She left as the girl thinking 'that idiot'. Lynn went into the bathroom and started shedding a few tears while hugging herself, "Did he really...forget me?"

Downstairs Lola and Lana were doing Lily's hair.

"Stay still, Lily, I won't be able to comb your hair if you keep moving," Lola scolded Lily.

"sorry lola" Lily apologized.

"Calm down Lily, he's just our big brother" said Lana, spitting on Lily's shoes and wiping them with a rag.

"Ewww, that's disgusting Lana." The girl in pink still didn't understand how her sister hadn't changed her dirty way of life in 3 years, but it got worse.

"You suck, your perfume is burning my nose hairs" Lana replied, at that moment the twins started another fight, Lily took the opportunity to get out of there.

Five hours ago at a Canadian airport

Pop pop looked a little older, and he was wearing a thick coat with a lumberjack hat, he got the plane tickets. In the distance he saw a figure sitting with a stick, the old man looked at him thinking 'This boy will definitely be an important person in life.'

-Back to the present-

The trumpets announcing the flights began, "Passengers of Flight 360 to Michigan, USA, please get on board."

-Go back to Loud's house-

Lucy looked out the window as it snowed. "Sigh, the cruelty of winter brings with it the ghosts of those taken in the past."

"Your way of saying you like snow" said Lynn, who was wearing a red gym jacket.

"Words are like people, they can change but their essence remains the same."

"You really made me hope" said the athlete who left the room. When she left she met Lisa. She didn't hate her, but she was a bit far from the little scientist. But Lisa had long since stopped caring what her less intelligent athletic sister thought. With Lynn she was the only one who didn't change her mind with her, she still considered her as someone with a lot of space in her brain, and what do you expect from a 16-year-old girl? Certainly a condition that completely eluded even Lisa's new way of looking at things.

The doorbell rang and everyone quickly gathered at the door to greet whom they thought was Lincoln, but when they opened it they saw Lincoln's best friend Clyde. He is wearing a white shirt with a tie under a woolen jacket with blue and white stripes • boots and yellow pants He is about as tall as Leni.

He had a pot in his hands.

"Hi Mrs. Loud" said the boy "I've brought something for the special occasion that I made myself."

Rita recalled that, in honor of Lincoln's return, she had invited Clyde to dine at the house when her son arrived. Mr. Loud didn't like the idea of ​​eating food he didn't make himself, but as it was a special occasion and the boy was Lincoln's best friend and he took so much trouble to make something, he let it slide.

"Thank you for coming, Clyde. I know your friend will give you plenty in many years." Rita picks up the pot of food.

"Only the best for my friend" said Clyde as he entered the house.

His entry made him feel nostalgic, he had not been in this house for 3 years since Lincoln left, he had only said hello and had a casual chat with some of the Loud girls for a short while when he passed their way.

Many things have changed in 3 years, when Clyde turns 13, he leaves his obsession with lori as he finds an interest in Penelope, the red-haired girl with glasses who also goes to private lessons with Clyde...

Finally, dinner was ready and the table was set.

Lana was drooling when she saw the banquet her family had prepared for her brother's arrival, she reached out to steal a wing of her father's baked chicken but Lola stopped her by hitting her hand.

"Don't you have manners? You have to wait until everyone is seated at the table and the guest of honor comes" Lola said when a piece of the cake she had hidden behind her back fell out.

Rita picked up the cake from the floor and gave it to Charles jr "Now, be patient girls, pop pop and Lincoln will be arriving any minute.

As if by magic, as soon as Rita said that, he heard the sound of a car pulling up in front of the house, the family and Clyde looked out the window, in the street in front of the house there was a taxi from which the older grandfather Albert, who now depends On a stick, he helped a young man down, though the body of Albert covered him completely from view, he need not have been a clairvoyant to know that it was Lincoln.

Albert paid the taxi driver and left.

Inside the house, everyone lined up and put up a sign that read -Welcome home, Lincoln and pop pop- It was Lily's idea that she made such an effort to make it happen that they didn't say anything to her.

Hearing a knock on the door, followed by Albert's voice, Mr. Loud opened the door.

"Surprise, welcome Lincoln and pop pop" The family and Clyde screamed with excitement.

Albert placed his hand over his heart, and his body could not bear as many surprises as before.

The girls pounced on their grandfather, hugging him.

"Well, look at yourselves, you have become beautiful young women" Albert said when he saw how his granddaughters had changed in 3 years.

"Especially me…" said Lola demonstratively.

"hey of course"

Albert hits Lola's head when he sees Lily hiding behind her mother.

Rita looked at Lily "Come on, Lily, say hi to pop pop."

Albert crouched to be at girl's height. "Hi Lily, you're all grown up."

Lily came out of her hiding place and waved shyly. Albert is touched by the little girl when he suddenly seems to remember something "wait" he goes to the door and the boy passes.

Everyone was excited because they knew he was referring to Lincoln.

When the boy entered, no one could say a word and they stared with wide eyes. 15-year-old Lincoln entered the house, the white-haired boy combed his hair to the corners of his eyes, he was wearing a red plaid flannel shirt under a black leather jacket with faux fur inside, he was wearing blue jeans, black snow boots, and a cane to guide himself.

Lincoln took a few steps until he stopped next to his grandfather and said
