"So are you planning on telling me where we are going anytime soon, sweet lady?" Derek said with a chuckle, as he drove down the road. She had been giving him directions the entire drive but had not yet said where it was that they were going.

"Maybe." She teased shrugging her shoulders with a mischievous smile before turning back to him, "Maybe not."

He was curious about where they were going and so he made a small threat, "No kisses," He said with an evil grin.

"No way," She shouted and playfully slapped him.

"For a week," He continued, laughing as he teased.

"Fine, you win." She exclaimed exasperatedly before continuing, "My grandparent's house."

"We shouldn't drag them into all of this," Derek said his gaze softening hating the idea of her losing any more of her family, if only it were just the police they had to worry about.

"They don't live there anymore," She said sadness seeping into her voice.

"What happened?" Derek said reaching out to hold her hand, the amount of loss she had endured hitting him like a ton of bricks.

"They passed about two years ago. Only a day a-apart. I guess they just couldn't live without each other for too long," She said with a sniffle and a sad smile, "I inherited the house and my brothers got the rest." She finished after a small pause.

"I'm sorry baby girl," Derek said giving her hand a gentle squeeze.

"It's okay hot stuff, at least they didn't suffer." She sniffled again, "Life without love is no life at all." She meant it with everything she had.

"I don't know what I'd do without you," Derek said softly squeezing her hand to convince her that he was there.

"I don't know what I'd do without you either, my love," Penelope said.

Penelope turned to look out the window and saw the log cabin that her grandparents had lived in ever since she was a little girl. There was a small pond that circled around the side of the cabin. The closer they came to the house the wider the smile on her face got. There were so many memories that had happened there. Her grandparents had let her stay with them for a while after her parents had died. They had been there to tell her that what happened wasn't her fault and she couldn't have done anything to change what had happened. They pulled into the circular drive and she got out. Walking to the trunk and started to grab her bags. Derek only had one small bag so he walked around the back and started to help her grab more bags. Penelope grabbed two of the bags before going to the car again and grabbing the keys to the house from the glove box. Before walking up the sidewalk and unlocking the door, holding it open so that Derek could walk inside. He had his arms full with all the rest of her bags and she wondered if he had anything that he brought with him.

Looking around the room they walked into Derek's jaw dropped in shock at how beautiful it was. The living room had a fireplace on the main wall and a big couch on the opposite end of the other wall. Chair littered the rest of the empty space by the walls save for a large bookcase in the corner. While the room may not have been big it was certainly cozy and felt like a place you would want to call home. To the left, there was an archway that led into a kitchen, and dining room table and chairs. Derek looked over to Penelope silently asking where to sit her bags.

She smiled and walking in front of him, motioning for him to follow after her. She walked through the archway into the kitchen, walking through the door. Before going to the left and opening the door. Derek followed her and he smiled when he saw the room they walked into. It was around as big as the living room and it appeared to be an office with a large desk with a computer. He smiled seeing that she had been at home here and that she had a home.

"Was this always an office?" He asked, seeing a small bed on the other side of the room.
"No, it used to be where we stayed when we visited," She said before continuing, "They set up the internet and let me stay here after my parents died. They made me feel at home."

"I wish they were still here so I could thank them," Derek said sitting down her bags by the desk before giving her a hug.

"They would have loved you," She said into his shoulder.

"I'm sure the feeling would have been mutual," He said one hand reaching up to cradle her head.

They pulled apart and he walked over helping her start to unpack her stuff. Picking out the bags of tech stuff from the other bags and sliding the tech bags to her taking the others in his hands. Walking over to the door before turning back and asking, "Where do we sleep?"

"Oh, I almost forgot. There's a ladder in the hallway that goes up to the loft." She said with a smile as a kid the loft had always fascinated her, you could see the living room and kitchen from there.

He walked out the door sitting down one of the bags taking the other and climbing up into the loft. You could see the kitchen and living room from over the railing. He looked around there was a bed and a dresser on either side of the bed. To the right, there was a door which he figured led to a bathroom.

He sat down the bag and then went back down the ladder bringing up the next bag before going back to the office to see if Penelope needed any help unpacking. However, when he got into the room she already had her stuff set up on the desk.

"It's getting late we should go to sleep now and start looking in the morning," Derek suggested also thinking that they could go grocery shopping in the morning as well.

"That sounds good, we can eat what we got at the market yesterday," Penelope said.

Derek grabbed the bags that they got at the market and they went to the table and ate.
