Thanks to everyone who reviewed and followed….., it's great to know that someone is reading. Creepy hugs!

-Erin-Loomis said, and walking by the side of his desk, he opened his arms to give a little hug to the young woman. - Welcome to Smith Grove Sanitarium…

-Please take a seat -he said, while still looking at her. -How was the trip?

-It was good, thanks for asking Samuel…- Erin answered as she played with the hem of her long cardigan. He knew she was uncomfortable with him, it was something he became familiar with… She knew Loomis since she was four; he was a friend of her father, and he died when she was fourteen. He was there when her mother had a breakdown… he was there, and he used to be more than a friend to her mother; she was not fond of him.

-Exhausting, I should say… you look tired. Have you found a place to stay? - And then she looked at him. Those dark eyes, he thought, it was like looking at his father.

-Yes, I found a hou…

-Your mother told me you just lost your work. Are you sure you can afford that?

-Yeah. I mean it was not that expensive and I have some money saved- she hissed- I just brought some of my stuff with me. And she's …Mary is bringing the rest. It's an old house, not far from here

The doctor knew that when Erin was mad, it was better not to force her to say more than she wanted.

-Well- Samuel forced a smile- then you can take some days to get used to the city and to rest; we can start working the next week

-Thanks Loomis, that would be great- She mumbled, and standing quickly she was out of the office before Samuel could shake her hand.

Haddonfield was a nice town.

The house she rented was a huge withe house, three big rooms, a small back garden full of gerberas. It was not fully furnished, but all the furniture in there was enough at that moment.

After parking her car, she observed the house and was relieved at the sight.

An elderly woman was waiting for her in the front yard. Her long grizzly hair waving at the wind, she approached to the car and immediately offered her hand to Erin, making the colorful bracelets on her hand tinkle.

-I'm Judith Wilkes, you must be Erin.

-That's me ma'am- and offering a bright smile she shook the woman hand- and you must be my landlady

Smiling widely, the old woman responded - Please call me Judith, sweetheart. It's nice to finally meet you; I only knew what my grandson told me about you. It was his idea to put the house rental announces on internet; I was afraid of renting the house to an outsider, but you seem like a good girl.

-I've already deposit the money on your account and I promise to keep the house on a good state

- Thanks honey, now let's go inside to sign the papers and let me show you the house. Then we can go have some food at my house, it's the one with the red roses on the yard- she said, pointing to the house in front of the street. - And I will not take no for an answer, we are neighbors now.

As they entered the house, Erin felt happy for the first time she stepped on Haddonfield.
