The brown sandwich bag containing two seeded bagels, cream cheese, and smoked ham had been held securely in my grasp as I tried to carry the coffee cups in the other hand trying my best to balance it all so it didn’t fall and make a mess on the prestine driveway paving.

I didn’t have any intention of ever walking on this driveway ever again after I had left years ago. In fact, I had spent a great amount of time contemplating whether or not I should even be doing this but here I was. I didn’t know what I was thinking coming here and here being the house I had once been thrown out of.

The entire area had so many memories both good and bad. I recalled the day Dante had carried me across the threshold maintaining silly old tradition right down to the time Pheobe had assaulted me out side these very steps I now stood on.

Nothing around here had changed. The gardens were near and rose bushes in full bloom, one aspect of the place that I love alot, but over the years I had forgotten just vibrant and refreshing they were when it had been in full bloom. The house keeper would always make an arrangement for me to place at the dinner table and I loved it.

However, I could help but feel the wave of nostalgia wash over me as my mind went through all the good and bad that it had stored away hoping to never visit some memories yet here I was.

I wouldn’t have been here if I didn’t think that Dante needed some sort of cheering up. What ever major issue was going on with his company seemed to be far more serious than he might have let off. It had been two days since I had last heard from him and I decided to take matters in to my own hands and seek him out myself. Surely a shared breakfast with a friendly face would ease his spirits and aid his wounds, no matter how vicious they may be..

Although, I didn’t think they were too bad considering there had been no circulating news about Dante’s business that could raise any possible concern.

I took I’m a deep breath as I stared at the light wood front door that was just as large as I remembered it to be. My hands wee rather occupied at present and I used the heel of my shoe to gently tap the bottom of the door to imitate the sound of knocking before I waited for the door to be pulled open

It would probably be opened by the house keeper who, to be frank, would be shocked to see me standing there. As much as the help may have no known the true story of what had occured but they undoubtedly connected the dots and figured the jist of it.

I heard shuffling behind the door and I composed myself to be prepared to greet which ever face that had opened the door and, to my utter surprise, the door was pulled open to reveal a rather taken aback Dante.

He was not dressed for the day as yet and, if any thing, the man had possibly just woken up from his sleep which was unlike him.

What ever traces of sleep he seemed to have left in his heavy eyes had immediately vanished as panic over took his expression when hos mind registered exactly who had been standing in front of

him.
