Chapter 45

The once bright blue sky that hung proudly above was no longer than same. If some one were to tell me that the now dark, almost black, sky was once an airy blue, I would have found it difficult to believe had I not been witness to it myself.

Not only had the sky conformed from one parallel to another but so did the temperature outside. The slight warmth that moved through the air had disappeared entirely once it had struck noon. Since then, it had become cold enough that the air felt cold before it turned in to a biting temperature.

It should not have come of as any much as a surprise to me as it had considering that I spent years. in Canada. I guess the last few months back in America kind of threw me off slightly from the unpredictability of Canadian weather.

I did not know of how long I had planned to be here because it was the most on the spot decision I have ever made but I knew it was the best possible decision I could make given the situation.

I needed to be away from Dante and Pheobe and what ever mess those two seemed highly determined to entangle themselves in. It also bought me some time to keep this paternity test from taking place. It was not some thing that I could run away from forever but I could try to until Dante would give up. He had to give up at some point seeing as he would be married in who knows how many months and then he would have a lot more to focus on than Hayley and I.

As for Hayley, she had been a tad bit happy to come back since she did miss her familiar surroundings especially since this was where she was born and brought up. No matter what, I doubted any place on earth would feel like home in the truest sense to her as much as she felt it here.

A sneeze dragged my attention away from the deteriorating weather out side the window. I turned just enough so I could see Hayley in the corner of the room scrunching her nose right before another sneeze caught her off guard.

“What’s going on?” I asked lightly.

Hayley shook her head as she sniffed. “I think it’s the dust.” She reasoned and I couldn’t disagree.

The place did get dusty in the time that we had been away but I was determined to take care of it.

“I know, sweety. I did call the cleaning agency to come in tomorrow and tidy up.” I informed her but she rolled herself over to me across the room.

“It’s going to storm in no time.” Hayley pointed out as she, too, observed the weather. “I forgot how unpredictable the weather could be back here.” She shrugged before looking at me.
