Finally we arrived at the B&B and it didn't seem anything out of the ordinary at all. Walking up to the front desk I rang the bell for assistance, luckily I had called ahead and they had let me know someone would wait up for us. A woman came to the desk, she had white/grey hair that shone with a silver hue in the light. She looked about 60 or so and smiled politely while checking us in. Unfortunately she was slightly old-fashioned and had assumed one of the boys would be my fiancé as one of them would be sharing my room. I had simply told her that it was very recent and I hadn't had time to shop for a ring. Shuffling through my bag I finally came across the two photos I had printed off earlier this evening. Pulling them out I asked the lady if she could remember seeing either of them. She took the photos but returned them shaking her head, "let me have a look. I'm very good with faces" a voice chimed from no-where turning around I noticed a young girl about 14 standing on the stairs, we must have disturbed her when we arrived.
Showing her the photos she nodded to me before handing them back. "They were here not long ago a few weeks back I think. I remember their car broke down so they had to stay here for a few days whilst it was being fixed. The man had a tattoo on his arm, stars I think" Looking up at her I wasn't surprised she had picked up so many details about Derek, he wasn't exactly unattractive and he was never short of a girl hanging off his every word. "Thanks for your help. We should really get to sleep it's been a long day hasn't it honey" turning to Dean I headed up the stairs to our designated rooms. "Just ring the bell if you need anything at all" the woman said before shooing the girl up to bed and disappearing into a corridor.
I felt his hands wrap around me as I dropped my bag onto the floor. Turning me to face him, he looked into my eyes for a few moments before whispering in my ear. "Honey, I think it's time for bed" A shiver ran through me at the sound of his voice so close to me. Just for a moment I thought it could be real but then reality crashed back in as pain flooded me as I realised I could never have this. Turning in Dean's arms I looked up at him and I knew he could see the pain in my eyes just like I could see it in his.
