ecided to let it be for now, afterall, everything goes and with time, all the answers would become clearer. When she stepped out and after drying herself, she walked to a small duffel bag she hadn't seen there earlier, and on opening it, she smiled, thanking Kathleen under her breath as she found a few clothes in it, she picked one out, it was a short milk maid gown that looked like it would hug all the right places, a sad smile making it's way to her face when she remembers how Liam used to get her dresses like these, complimenting her body and never missing a chance to dote on her. She shook her head, getting rid of those thoughts and quickly pulling the dress on after she'd worn some underwear. On stepping into the corridor, she looked around the house, confirming her suspicions that there was no one at home except her, she made her way to the living room, appreciating the beauty of the house now that it was morning and the natural light illuminated the spacious room.

At the entrance, she made sure the door clicked shut before looking up at the sky and taking a deep inhale of the crisp morning air, already feeling refreshed before she turned so fast she almost got whiplash when she heard it. "Divine?..... Good heavens, is that you?" Mrs James, the elderly woman whose house she thought to seek refuge the night before squinted as she walked closer, Divine hurrying to the familiar face which immediately pulled her into a warm embrace. "Where have you been? It's been so long" she added and Divine managed a small smile that did not reach her eyes. "It has. I've missed you" Mrs James nodded with a wide smile, the wrinkles around her
