Once Andrea is out of the car Carlisle who is wearing a pair of black dress pants and long sleeved white dress shirt hands Andrea's the crutches and Andrea put the crutches under her underarms. Then the three of them walk up to the steps of the porch. A few minutes later Esme, Carlisle and Andrea's walks into the large open living room of the house, that used to be several rooms. The three of them walk past the grand piano and the grand staircase that are on the left-hand side and then walk past a small hallway that leads to a bathroom.

Then Esme, Carlisle and Andrea turn to the left if your back is to front door and walk through the doorway of the dinning room, then walks through the dinning room and through the door of the kitchen, which is across from the dinning room door. Esme is the first to reach the door to the basement that is on the left-hand side and behind the grand staircase in the kitchen.

There is also a backsplash of a mix of white and lavender glass titles behind the stove and counter top. Andrea turns and walks past the living room area and when she walks into the dinning area, Andrea sees that the first door on the left-hand side after the stairs leads into a full bathroom. Andrea walks up to the bathroom door and sees on the wall across from the door is a white clawfoot tub with the metal tub faucet, tub drain, supply lines and supply stops are on the left end of tub if stand in front of tub looking at the tub. On the wall on the left-hand side of the door is a shower with a glass door and glass walls on the outside of the shower and on the walls on the inside of the shower are lavender subway tiles and there is a metal rain shower head and metal handhold shower head in the shower too.

There is a wooden built in medicine cabinet that has been paint white above the sink. The last thing Andrea notice is that the bathroom floor is porcelain title in a patter of white and lavender and the shower floor is also porcelain that matches the rest of the floor. Andrea walks away from the bathroom door and sees the door that is on the right-hand side of the bathroom door leads into the laundry room. Andrea turns so her back is to the bathroom door and the laundry room door and then walks over to the door that is across from the laundry room. When she reaches the door to the room she walks into the room and lean on her crutches and at the same time Jasper walks up beside Andrea, as Andrea looks at the wall across from the door that has a large basement egress window and under the window is a wooden cherry finished desk with curved legs and has five drawers.

Andrea smiles and then turns around and walks into the living room area and walks up to the loveseat and set her clutches on the floor, then sit down on the loveseat and smiles at all the Cullen's.
"Esme, Carlisle, Jasper, Emmett, Edward, Alice and Rosalie you did not have to do this all for me. A bed in the basement would have been enough and I could have gone upstairs to use the bathroom and made food in the main kitchen!"
Esme walks up in front of Andrea who has just put her left leg up on the loveseat and then Esme kneels down in front of Andrea. At the same time Rosalie sits down on antique mahogany chairs that is on the right end of the loveseat and Alice sits down on the antique mahogany chairs that is on the left end of the loveseat and Emmett, Edward, Jasper and Carlisle stand behind Esme and Esme starts to speak.

"(Esme, Carlisle, Jasper, Emmett, Edward, Alice and Rosalie) Do you like your space Andrea?"
"Yes I do and thank you all for everything. I want to ask you all if you would go to my grandparents/parent's house and help me clean it today?"
"(Esme, Carlisle, Jasper, Emmett, Edward, Alice and Rosalie) Sure."
Esme turns around and looks at Edward, who is standing right across from her. At the same time Andrea stands up and grabs her crutches.
"Edward's go get your car and pull the car up to the house and then give Andrea a ride to her grandparents/parent's house. The rest of us will meet the two of you over there."
