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 was replying to Jake's message when there was a knock on the room door before my gran stuck her head inside holding a cup of coffee.

"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

you for letting us stay". I didn't expect her to sit on the edge of the bed.

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

"No sweetheart that's yours to use whenever you wish and on whatever you want".

"I don't need it". I frowned.

"But one day you might". She grabbed hold of my hand. "And I can't leave this earth until I know you're settled and taken care of".

Leave this earth? Was there something she wasn't telling me?

"But anyway". She got to her feet. "Would you like some breakfast? I've made bacon and eggs".

"Waffles?". I smiled.
