dani felt as if an entire soul had been dug inside of her. for a few seconds she only felt her. viola. but after a while she  concentrated back on jamie's voice. she called her and she whispered in her ear. it was going to be okay.

viola had been inside her for a week. they haven't managed to find a way to return her back to her body. they had been trying. jamie the most. she just wanted a life with dani. a life that doesn't involve a ancient spirit of a demented mother haunting her girlfriends body.
dani spent the night with jamie after the lake. as she carried her she felt the soft brush of her arms. her lips lightly pressed against danis forehead. it warmed dani to know she was there. 

dani hadn't been sleeping well the last couple days. in fact she hadn't been sleeping at all. it was the night before the wind graves would leave bly manor. dani was completely warn out and could barely make it downstairs after putting miles and flora too bed. luckily, jamie picked her up half way down the stairs and lay her down on the sofa. her lips pressed against danis and they slowly embraced until jamie pulled away. dani reached out and snuck her hand back down jamies neck and pulled her close. she needed her. especially tonight. "are you sure dani you look really worn out babe" jamie questioned her. "of course" dani replied. they kissed for minutes maybe hours dani lay embarrassing jamie's warmth and love. her hand eventually pulled off danis top. "should we be doing this here?" dani asked, cautious of owen or henry walking in. "there out down the pub in bly" jamie replied with a smirk. "it's just you and me poppins".
the sun slowly rose from behind the deep red curtains. dani slowly arose and felt the light burn beautifully against her skin. she looked over at jamie, she flowed in the light and it made dani love her more. jamies rosy cheeks and her painted smile. dani found herself drifting away from the window and towards her. she stroked jamies hair lightly as she lay there. her love. her darling. dani felt jamie smile as she kissed her forehead. "your up early dani" she whispered. 'yea i had a bit of a nightmare but i guess i'm better now' dani replied. 'oh baby i'm sorry, come here!' jamie sat up and pulled dani in towards her. 'it's okay i'm here' dani always felt safe when jamie embraced her, something about her soft feel made dani feel like she was safest in the world with jamie. 'it's okay i'm okay now' dani giggled. but that didn't stop jamie from hugging her tighter, wrapping her arms around dani, protecting her from the world. the truth was the dream had scared dani. quiet a bit. it was about the lady of the lake. but she didn't want to tell jamie. she didn't want to worry her. 'we should get up and dressed in a bit babe' dani said quickly. 'catch henry, owen and the kids before they leave'. today was the day that they left the manor. henry had signed it over to them. in hope that, when the time came, they could save dani.
'jamie...' dani started.
'yes poppins what's up?'.
'i want to leave bly..' dani announced
'what! we can't the lady is still inside of you we can't just abandon all hope are you crazy?!' jamie exclaimed in anger. 'we can't stay around waiting forever to find an answer we never may actually get to!' dani protested. 'we could build a life jamie a real life anywhere! look i don't want to loose hope okay but i also want to spend time with you my girlfriend doing normal things in a normal world!' dani looked at jamie with pled in her eyes. 'i cant loose you though' jamie started. 'what was it you told me?' dani recalled. 'one day at a time?' jamie's very own words hit her in shock. they stood in a silence for a bit. 'one day at a time.' jamie repeated. dani looked up and smiled. 'so you agree?' dani looked eagerly at jamie. 'one day at a time, so long as those days are with you poppins, one day at a times fine by me!' dani laughed as she made her way over to jamie. their faces pressed together as they both smiled  their lips slightly touching.

'miss clayton!' flora called from the bottom of the hall. 'coming flora!' dani called as her and jamie made their way to begin packing the suitcases from danis rooms. 'your leaving?' henry asked in confusion. 'we've decided to make the most of our time together not waste in on....' jamie looked at flora and miles. 'stuff that's not memories'. 'how perfectly splendid!' flora exclaimed. 'you must come and visit it us in america!' miles announced. owen smiled at him and turned to dani. 'where are you two planning on going anyway?' dani looked at jamie. 'that's the funny thing about adventures, you never know where they will take you' she turned to miles. 'but we can do america!' they all laughed.

owen helped jamie pull the last suitcase into the truck as dani hugged the kids goodbye. 'we will miss you' said flora. 'yes, we will' repeated miles. 'good luck to you both' henry said as he embraced the two women. they kissed the children once more and said their farewells to owen. 'take good care of her!' he winked at dani. 'oi watch it you!' jamie exclaimed. 'take care, talk soon.' they both smiled at him. 'goodbye owen'
as jamie climbed into the front seat dani looked back at bly, it still sent shivers down her spine imagining the washed out face of the lady in the lake. 'you alright?' jamie asked looking over at dani. 'yea, yea i'm fine!' dani smiled at jamie. 'let's hit the road then poppins' they slowly drove down the path the au pair had first arrived at bly from as the manor became smaller and smaller dani focused on the road ahead and her life with jamie. one day at a time.
