Ryly smiled at me and then looked back at the road. We were in a very poor town now. She must be a billionair here. Who am I kidding? She's a billionair anywhere! Gaven still had his head in my lap and was drooling on my thie. I smiled for some reason and looked at his innocent face that still had tear marks on it. Finally, Ryly pulled over into an empty space and opened the car door. "Time to get out!" "Where are we?" Ryly laughed and shook her head, "We have to walk down here, the house is down this hill." I frowned, not looking forward to the walk down the deep, dark hill.

I opened the car door back up and kissed Gaven on the top of the head, he looked up with his mouth open and his eyes half way shut. "Gaven, we're here. C'mon! We're going to go see your nephew." Gaven glared at the car seat in anger and then slowly climbed out of the car. "I don't see anything." Gaven said as he grabbed my hand before I slipped on the wet grass. "You have to wait kid." Ryly rolled her eyes and kept walking. A smile seemed to slowly be painted on Ryly's face as you could make out the faint vision of a small, wood house that was lined with what seemed dead flowers. "Look! Look! There it is! That's where my little boy lives!" She soon sprang into a full on sprint twords the house and jumped infront of the door.

She thumped her fist against the door three times, "Thump! Thump! Thump!" By the time Gaven and I had reached the house Ryly's smile was fading. "Guys? It's me. Ryly." Footsteps fumbled around the house quickly before a pair of hands appeared from the door and pulled us inside. Gaven, who had nearly had a heart attack, was panting more then ever and had his right hand across his chest, covering his heart. "What was that!" He yelled as he clasp his other hand around my leg. We were sitting in a dark red chair that was only made for one to sit in. Ryly stood with an old lady, talking. On my right there was a dark hallway that had one door at the end. The door was black and no light was coming from under neath the door. "Is he awake?" I heard Ryly say to the old woman. But I turned my head, trying not to ease drop.

Then, I found myself wondering what was hidden behind this large, mysterious, black door. Was it her son? Or was it something else? I shook my head and cleared the thought. "What's wrong?" Gaven asked, "Nothing. I'm cold, hungry as hell." He half frowned and then wrapped his arm around me allowing me to rest my head imbetween his shoulder and neck. He was warm, warm enough to be catching a fever. "Are you feeling well?" I asked with a bit of hesitation. "Eh. I've felt a little sick today. But it's probably just all the excitment we've been through recently. You know." He shrugged and then gave me his puppy dog eyes that demanded me to lay my head back down.

It had been a long day and I was still tired, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep. In the middle of the night I lifted my head which caused Gaven to wake. "Lean on me babe! Babe! Lean on me! Babe!" He said just about a million times before I actually moved back. He was too tired to say anything except that. He turned and kissed my fore head and then said something almost unreconizable. "What?" "I love you..." "I love you too." Gaven placed his hand on his heart and began to tap his chest. "All my heart." I smiled, "All my heart too." Gaven's eyes were shut before he had finished his sentence and was already back asleep.
