Turning onto it he followed it to the house which held so many wonderful memories it came into view he thought I'm home. The house was three stories the basement held a large theatre room along with a bar area. The upstairs held five rooms each with private bathrooms the main level held a study, piano room, living room, kitchen, and laundry room

He looked to the left that was the piano room it looked as if she redecorated the room instead of the unique antiques there was now a bunch of Aztec looking furniture along with her cherry wood piano. She'd always wanted her boys to learn t

Dallas remembered how often he'd snuck out this window to meet a girl. Turning away from the window and bag he walked back into the hallway and across to his parent's room. Opening the door, he stepped into the dimly lit room and saw his Mom lying on the bed. She was propped up with several pillows against the headboard and was so pale. However even her paleness didn't tak

In a sense, she was glad because she always felt there was something not right with Georgia. She'd been sweet and all but something about her was not
