and watch for the signs it was giving her.  Thinking about her dad drew sadness from her chest.  She pushed it back down, compartmentalizing it, refusing to allow it to surface.  She needed to move forward and think about the future.  She knew that is what her parents would want her to do.
    She needed to listen to her body, and right now it was telling her to turn around and go back or she would regret it.  She decided to listen this time.  But next time she would push it a little further.
    By the time she got back to the house, an hour and a half had past.  The sun rose to greet the morning casting its rays shedding light into the once hidden shadowy crevices.  Ryleigh took a moment to appreciate her aunt’s mansion in this morning light.  The sun brought out the reflective specks in the bricks surrounding the home making it look as if they were made of gold. 
    Siegfried was there to greet her upon her return, “I trust you found your way around?”
    “I did.  I appreciated the map.  I’m back earlier than I anticipated.  I am just not ready to push it.”  Siegfried offered her a slight smile, “Breakfast will be served shortly.”
    “Thank you,” Ryleigh replied and ran up the stairs to her room to take a shower.
    She emerged to the glorious smell of bacon.  Although the home was large, the smell of bacon made a beeline path to Ryleigh’s nose.  She wanted to head downstairs but decided to check her email.  She’d sent Cy an email after seeing him at her parent’s funeral.  She missed him terribly.  It was hard not to see him every day.  He promised he would write her, video chat, keep in touch – they didn’t live too far and by bus – it was only two hours.  They both promised to get together as soon as Ryleigh was well enough.  Although those promises were made, it seemed that Ryleigh was the only one keeping up her end of the bargain.  She hadn’t heard from Cy.
    She logged into her messenger services and responded to a few messages from her other gaming friends before logging back off.  She hadn’t received anything back from Cy and was disappointed…once again.  She wasn’t sure why he wasn’t talking to her and decided that she was going to give him a call before the day was over.
    Heading down the stairway a foreign male voice echoed toward her.  She entered the dining room and paused looking at a man who was a male replication of her mother.  Tall, thin, handsome. He was much taller than her mother, over six feet at least, and his nose curved under slightly like a bird’s beak.  His dark chocolate eyes glinted as he extended his hand in a formal greeting.
    “…and you must be Ryleigh.  I am your Uncle Fin and I am very glad to meet you.”  Ryleigh grabbed his hand as he offered it to her and Vera cleared her throat. 
            “Breakfast is ready and we do not want it cold,” she said snidely.  Fin turned and gave Vera a knowing glance, “Yes, you are right.  We must eat.  I am famished.”  Fin laughed as he turned toward the dining room.  He immediately took a seat at the head of the table.  Vera stood by the chair with a look of surprise on her face.  How dare this man enter her home and take over!  But, it was the way of things.  It was how it was done and she would not argue.  Instead, she took a breath, and sat directly across from Ryleigh.
    Siegfried entered the dining area with the staff from last night that seemed to appear out of thin air.  The smells were mouthwatering and Ryleigh imagined she would need to wipe drool from her chin.  “Everything smells amazing!” Ryleigh complimented.
    “Yes, it does,” admired Fin.  “Your Aunt Vera has to make sure that everything is perfect, including the eggs that are served in this household.”  Taking a bite of bacon, “Right, love?” he asked.
    “Yes,” agreed Vera.  “Perfect.”  Although she appeared to smile, her eyes conveyed a deeper message that Fin could only
