Placing everything in his cases he puts the last of his shirts in when he turn coming to me. "Of course darling everything you need is in that draw. Write while I let my men know we're leaving."

I pull the everything that I will need out sitting in the chair I begin writing.

Dearest Aunt Polly and Uncle Arthur

Finishing the letter I slide it into the envelope as Nate coming back into the room with two men who grab the cases leaving the room.

"Alright darling?" He asks as he leans against the desk next to me. "Of course I'm ready to go to home." Nodding he holds up my coat up for me helping me into it. Calling Apollo when walking out with the letter my hand.

Before climbing in I hand the letter to Nate. "Please make sure it gets to them." Nodding he walks up to a man who he claps on the back. I see them both looking towards me I quickly face forward.

Nate join me in the back with a large wool blanket handing it to be. I look at him confused. "Get some rest darling it will take at least two hours to get there." Nodding wrapping the blanket around both of us as I lean against him laying my head on his chest closing my eyes. Apollo laying across are laps. Feeling him wrap his arm around me.

Sitting in Nate's office drinking on some bourbon I watch him as sits behind his desk reading over some documents. When the grandfather clock stricks midnight.

He sighs putting his pens down he rubs his face with both hands. "Come darling let's go to bed" taking my hand he leads me up the grand staircase Apollo running after us.
