No, Emma replies I was probably just dreaming. Ok, Jordan says. I want food and I smell coffee let's go eat, emma replies. When they go down stairs they really see how old and beautiful this mysterious house is. When we were passing the Piano room we saw an Old painting of a lady that's eyes seemed to follow you.
