I didn't expect to sleep through the night. It wasn't strange being back here, a little weird but oddly enough it felt as though I had never left. I was sleeping in my old room, in my old bed with my old sheets.

I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and rolled over onto my side. It was early and I could hear movement from downstairs, but I didn't want to get up just yet.

"I'll just leave this here". She spoke softly placing it on the nightstand. "Did you sleep okay?".

"Yeah". I smiled. "Thanks for letting me stay".

"This is still your home Leah. Infact it's more yours than mine". She chuckled. "So, thank

"It's still your house gran and all that money you gave me is still yours".

"Waffles?". I smiled.
