Jack goes inside, and shuts the door behind him. Adaline thinks to herself "Well, I guess I have an answer now, not a good one though." Adaline sighs, and stands up. She walks over to the swing, and sits there. She looks down at her feet, and she swings a little bit. A few minutes pass, and Adaline Looks up at the sky. Theres the perfect amount of clouds in it, and its a beautiful shade of blue. It's quite calming. She stares at it for what feels like 5 minutes. time passes by faster than Adaline thinks. She feels calm, and isn't really paying attention to anything else right now, basically forgetting that this is all real, this is all reality. It all just feels fake to her right now. Eventually, Jill opens the door. "Adaline." Jill says, accidentally scaring Adaline. Adaline flinches, but pretends nothing happened. "what do you need Jill?" Adaline asks. "I made breakfast." Jill replies. Adaline says "oh, okay. What did you make?" Jill doesn't reply. Adaline stands up, and follows Jill to the dining room. "how long was I out there for anyways? Adaline asks "about 30 minutes!" Jack says, sitting at the table. "Geez, that went by fast. I thought I was out there for only 10, I didn't even realize Jill was awake!" Adaline says. She sits down, and Jill gives Adaline a plate of pancakes. "Thank you." Adaline says, before taking a bite. "Thanks Jill!" Jack says, also taking a bite. Jill takes a plate with pancakes, and walks towards the door. "Where are you going Jill? You haven't even eaten yet!" Adaline says "I'm going to give breakfast to our father, he hates eating down here with us. Plus hes busy." Jill replies. "Oh, alright then, sorry." Adaline says, before taking  another bite. Jack smiles and waves at Jill right before she leaves, and He takes another bite of his pancakes while waving. Jill mumbles so no one can hear her. "You really shouldn't have come here, and I'm sorry you had to, but.... Welcome home, sister." Jill leaves the room, closing the door behind her.
