The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Carl Jung
When Ms. Madison Collins moved to London to live with Mrs. Marie Hudson, her last remaining relative, she expected her life to change; what she did not expect was to meet the rudest, most arrogant man on the planet.
Chapter One: A New Tenant
To say that Maddie Collins was exhausted, would be a vast understatement. The young 23 year old had, most definitely, not had the best last 24hours.
She hadn't slept at all on the flight over and it certainly did not help that she had ended up walking nine blocks because she had trouble flagging down a cab.
Of course, it would also have to be raining when she arrived in London.
Madison Collins was tired, wet and incredibly nervous.
She had never known her grandmother, and had often wondered what the woman would be like.
Her mother had never mentioned Marie Hudson and her father had died long before Maddie was out of diapers.
She wondered if her grandmother would be the type of woman who baked cookies and kept hot chocolate on hand; or one of those frighteningly stern women who always smelled like mothballs and carried about a ruler for rapping people's knuckles when they misbehaved.
The only thing anyone had bothered to tell Madison about her last remaining relative, was that the elderly woman lived at 221 Baker Street in flat A.
And so, after a long trek through the London Streets, accompanied only by a small rolling suitcase, Madison Collins found herself standing before the building in the rain.
She stared at it with baited breath.
Whatever is on the other side of that door... no matter what it is... that is my new life.
Good or Bad.
Madison took a deep breath and stepped forward to knock on the door.
