"Oooooooooooooooooooooh! Kyo! You got stuffed! And he's like younger than you!" Sarah said with a laugh while Kyo glared daggers at her. Haru smirked at him with pleasure while Yuki just sighed.

Tohru walked over with dinner in her hands and said with a smile, "Haru, Kyo, you both did so well. You'll win next time Kyo!"

"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever," he said back angrily.

"Whats for dinner?" Shigure walked in while slipping his shoes off. He was holding and envelope in his right hand when he sat down at the table.

"What the envelope about?" Momiji asked happily in a ton which sounded like a little kid would when they said, 'Give me! Give me!'. Sarah sighed.

"Oh this?" Shigure asked pointing to the envelope. 'What else would he be talking about, idiot?', Sarah thought with a snicker. The rest nodded.

"It's Sarah's." Sarah turned her head to stare at the tiny square shaped thing that couldn't hold a lot of things but could hold a note of some sort but who would be sending her a note or letter?

Sarah's hand snapped out to grab it but landed on the table with a 'thud'. Shigure had snacked it before she could grab it. She looked up from where her hand was resting to Shigure with a glare, "You said that was mine, right?"

"Yes. I did. But I don't want you to open it while we eat. I would like to enjoy my meal while I can. I'm getting old you know."

'Idiot' was all Sarah could think. But she didn't like the sound of what he had just said. What was he hinting at? Enjoy his meal? Would it wreck his meal if she opened it now?

A silence filled the room. But it was soon broken by Tohru suggesting they should eat. During the whole meal Sarah glared at the envelope resting next to Shigure's plate.

As soon as Shigure got up to refill his glass with water she snatched it and opened it in one swift movement. She looked inside of it with the other watching. It had a picture in it? She slowly pulled it out. She looked into the happy faces of three people holding each other close with smiles.

She crumpled the picture in her hand and stood up. "So Tohru, whats for desert?" Shigure asked as he walked back over to the table but stopped abruptly when his eyes met the ripped open envelope lying still on the table. "Amay? Whats wrong?" Tohru asked worriedly.

"I…I'm fine. I just gotta…um…I'm going to take a walk." Sarah's voice faltered while she said these words and quickly turned to the door and ran outside. Everyone watched silently with confused expressions on their faces.

The streets were filled with paddles and the water splashed up between her toes as she walked. Her feet were numb from running without shoes over rocks and twigs. Through dirt and running on hard gravel paved rodes. She turned a corner to her left and stood under a street light and sighed. She unfolded the photograph and took nother sad look at it and whispered, "Don't worry mom…I'm coming."
