We arrive at a white home, with black shutters on the windows, which had it's curtains closed.

"You sure it's here?" I ask dubiously. Jasper nods. We walk, human pace to the door. He raps once, then twice, then once. It opens a crack. A male face with menacing eyes looks up at us.

"Jasper?" Says Peter. I think it's Peter. He door opens all the way and Jasper and 'Peter' embrace, clapping each other on the back. A small, elfish girl appears in the doorway, tackling them both. I smile fondly at Jaspers open affection for them. My brother deserves love. I feel an overwhelming wave on pain. But I steel my spine. Jasper stands up and Peter picks up Charlotte, I guess, with ease and wraps an arm around her waist. Jasper places a comforting hand on my shoulder. I smile up at him. I really am so lucky to have him.

"This is Isabella. My sister. She, uh, needs a place to stay for a while. Can you......?" The unasked question lingers.

"Any family of yours is family of mine." Charlotte says happily. "It'll be nice to have a FEMALE around." She empathizes 'female' looking pointedly at Peter and Jasper, who shrug.

"Sure." Peter says. His eyes suddenly don't look so menacing.

"Ooohhh!" I say for the eleventh time since walking in there house. Velvet couches, leather walls, giant grizzly heads, piranhas in tanks, a giant pool had been my recents. Charlotte laughs in a tinkling sort of way. I decide I like her. Her vibes, more like.

"Our house is amazing but, really?" Peter jokes lightly. I smile. He's nice as well.

"Yes. It's amazing. And cozy." I add.

"Yes." Jasper says. "Grizzly bear heads on walls is real 'cozy'." He mocks. I roll my eyes. Jasper. "Anyways. I better go." He says. He wraps me in a hug. Leather, cinnamon, home hits me in the face. I hug him back, tightly. He squeaks a bit. I giggle and loosen up.

"I love you, stay safe." I say. I pull back and immediately smooth his hair. He bats my hand away impatiently.

"Yes MOM." He grumbles. I smile. "Love you too." He adds. Then he's out. I feel a little abandoned but happy too. Which made the pain come so stifling, my knees buckled. Spots swam before my eyes.
