Shifting his feet and kicking at the loose gravel on the pavement outside the house, Matt stood with Paul and their mother as they waited for someone to answer the door. So far the house looked rather impressive, it had many windows and was rather tall - Matt predicted it had at least three floors. Marilyn whispered a hushed order at Matt to stop kicking the ground and look smart as the door was hastily opened.
"Ahh why hello! You must beeee.. Marilyn Bellamy?" An excited short woman emerged through the door way, her eyes glancing across all three of them. She was quite small, her dirty blonde hair was tucked nearly in the back of her fancy dress and her green eyes sparkled in the midday sun.
"Why yes I am, and these are my sons - Paul," she said, pointing to Matt's older brother, who smiled warmly and shook the lady's hand, "And.. Matt." she chuckled, stepping aside to show the new woman her other son. Matt timidly looked up and flashed an uncomfortable smile, fiddling one hand behind his back and another ruffling his hair.
"Nice to meet you!" Marilyn finished, reaching out to shake hands - getting pulled into a tight hug instead by the small lady.
"My my, aren't you something, nice to meet you all! Do you want to come in?" she chuckled, walking in to the massive house and looking back at the Bellamy family.
"If you dont mind." Matt's mother laughed, her voice echoing through the hall as they entered the home.

The home was breathtaking once you got inside. Matt was right - three floors of spacious and airy room. Boxes littered the place as to celebrate the new move, yet it still managed to look beautiful. The alcoves were decorated with fine and elegant gold lines, and the wallpaper summed up the class of the house. And that was just the main hall. Matt got so caught up in admiring the house, or rather "palace", and didn't realise the group had already headed into the kitchen. The sound of bright, friendly conversation flooded out of the room as he made his way towards the doorway.

"Welcome to our home! I'm Mrs Howard, and lunch won't be long. Make yourself at home!"
