"Hey dad, I was just talking to-"

Emma looked back at Sean, but he was gone.

"So Emma, who were you talking to?"

"Oh, I was just talking to Peter."

"I see, my how you two have grown!"

Emma smiled, and then looked around, wondering where Sean had gone. Kat smiled meekly at her grandfather, she didn't like him very much, but she felt that anywhere away from that hell hole of a town, where she lived, was better than nothing. Peter warmly returned a hug, and then sat down to work on his school work.

"Yo Peter, were gonna be gone for two weeks, would you relax?"

"No, That just means I don't have to go to school, but I still have to do the work. I asked my teachers to email me everything that happens in class, and all my work."

Kat smacks her head. She thought her brother was such a nerd, doing his homework on a vacation. She took out her cd player, and began listening to slipknot.

"Alright, well I'll leave you three to settle in."

"Alright, thank you dad."

Snake left, and as soon as he did so Emma took the directions from her coat pocket, and read them.

"Kat, Peter, I'm going to go out for a little bit, okay?"

"Yeah whatever mom." Replied Kat.

"Okay mom, and could you pick up a new mechanical pencil for me? My other one broke."

"Yeah, okay."

Emma went through the door to the family room, and then went out the front door. She got in her car, and drove off. 20 minutes later she stopped in front of a white house, with a pale brown brick surrounding the door, and the corners. The lawn was neatly kept, and arranged nicely. She stepped up to the door, and knocked.

A couple minutes later, Sean opened the door. He was holding a controller to a remote control car.

"E-Emma, what are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see your house, and talk."

"Uh-um…well, this isn't a really good time."

"Why not?" Emma demanded, anger was boiling inside her.

"I'm kinda busy.."

"Look, can we just talk? Please, that's all I need."

Sean led her inside. The house was beautiful, a couch, and a chair sat in the entry way. At the end of the hall, a door stood slightly ajar, exposing a staircase leading to the upstairs, and a family room. Emma walked through the door, to see a door that was wide open, leading into a kitchen. The family room had a nice marble fire place, a pale blue carpet, a white sofa, with a leather recliner next to the fire place. A circular dark blue coffee table sat in front of the sofa. A wide screen television was up against the wall. Under a long window was a long white cabinet, and to either side were two book shelves. A small stereo was on top of the cabinet. She walked through the door, into a kitchen with cork floors. The kitchen was huge. A door off to the right, led into an elegant dining room, where a small boy sat, eating macaroni and cheese. She turned back to the family room, and went up the stairs.

A door leading off to the right went into a little boys room, the walls were dark blue, and the floor was strewn with toys. A room off to the left of the hall showed an office where there were 3 computers, and a laptop. A desk was strewn with files, and papers. The next room was also on the left, and inside was a bedroom.

"Um, this is my bedroom." Said Sean.

Emma continued down the hall to a balcony. It looked out on the back yard, where a pool, and a hot tub lay. The hot tub was bubbling, and a love seat swing sat off to the side, where a number of bushes, and trees seemed to create a romantic place, for someone to sit, with their husband or wife, and wash the night away. On the other side of the yard, were two soccer goals, a concrete area that was quite large, where skates lay, along with a bike, neatly against the house. A soccer ball was in one of the goals, and a tennis court was a little further back.

"Wow, Sean. This place is marvelous."

Emma climbed back down the steps, and sat down in the living room.

"Now, it's time to talk."

Sean sat down next to her on the couch. Sweat trickled from his brow.

"Who is your wife?"

"My wife..My wife is Manny."

Emma looked bewildered.

"Listen..Emma I-I-I'm sorry. If you hadn't run off…." Seans voice trailed away. He hid his head in his hands.

Emma put her arm around him. Sean looked up. Their eyes met, and tears began to fall from Emma's eyes. They embraced, and Emma began to cry on Sean's shoulder. The door opened to the family room, and Emma looked up.
