.-:-.The Colony House.-:-.

Caleb pulled up in front of the old colony house. The small cottage looked ancient. A gun shot spooked Ashlyn and Caleb.

"It's just Gorman. You remember him right, Caleb asked. Ashlyn nodded her head in agreement. "He doesn't see very well anymore," Caleb explained. Ashlyn followed Caleb up to the house. Gorman opened the door and when he saw Ashlyn, he immediately recognized her.

"Ashlyn," he asked unsure.

"Yup, it's me Gorman," Ashlyn answered, giving him a hug. "Can I go up and see him?"

"Of course you can dear. I need to speak with Caleb about his father's medications anyway," Gorman answered. Ashlyn walked up the steps, leaving Caleb and Gorman to talk downstairs.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"She" really back," Gorman smiled.

"Yeah, she just got back last night. None of the boys knew she's here though," Caleb said. "Tyler doesn't even know yet. She came to the manor first."

"Ashlyn hasn't changed much had she," Gorman smiled.

"No, she's still Ash." Caleb started ascending the stairs to join Ashlyn and his father when Gorman called out his name.

"Caleb," Gorman hesitated.

"What, Gorman," he asked, turning his head to look at the elderly man.

"Don't screw things up and let her get away this time," he advised.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hi William," Ashlyn's voice was soft as she greeted the old man. "How are you?"

William gave her what little smile he could manage and in his raspy voice answered, "Well, you?"

"I'm great," she chuckled. "Cal's the only one who knows I'm back, well now Gorman too." Just then Caleb walked in. Pulling the medications for William on the table he turned to Ashlyn and said, "We should get going." Ashlyn hugged William and assured him that she would come visit him often before heading out to the car with Caleb.

"So where to next," she asked buckling up in car.

"Nicky's," Caleb answered.

"Nicky's, Ashlyn groaned. "Guess it's time to meet the boys."

Thanks for all of the reviews. I'm shocked I actually even got any. Chapter's a little short but I hope everyone enjoys it none the less. Remember read and review…until next time…ciao.
