 Heart Weighs Heavy As She Steps Back Inside , Air Thick With The Scent Of Dust And Aged Wood . She Glances

heart weighs heavy as she steps back inside , air thick with the scent of dust and aged wood . she glances back at jericho , expression a mixture of resolve and unease . ‘ yeah , the universe has a really twisted sense of humour . ’ she murmurs , voice barely above a whisper . was it really a coincidence for this to happen the day she arrives in town . what sick freak would even plan something like this especially when grieving the death of a loved one . despite the graffiti marring the exterior , inside the home is a sanctuary of order . coming to a halt in the living room where an impressive collection of books spans the bookcases in the back she gestures at them with her hand . ‘ if you're looking to find something it's probably going to be here . ⸻ make yourself at home , i'll get the coffee going . ’ god knows they were going to need it . she walks into the kitchen , putting the kettle on while talking to him from the other room . ‘ actually i haven’t even thought about selling yet , but i guess i'm going to have to do some painting before that can happen now . ’ returning moments later with two mugs that she sets down on the coffee table . ‘ i gotta admit though , i thought small towns had better reps than this . ’ tone is playful , laughter that follows soft .

Doesn't Want To Point It Out To Her, But With The Graffiti And The Neighbours Sneaking A Peak Jericho

doesn't  want  to  point  it  out  to  her,  but  with  the  graffiti  and  the  neighbours  sneaking  a  peak  jericho  doesn't  think  selling  up  is  going  to  be  easy.  "so  you  just  got  in  and  then  your  first  night  here  this  happens  ...  "  was  it  simply  a  strange  coincidence?  she  didn't  seem  like  the  type  of  person  to  carry  an  upside  down  cross  inside  her  purse  or  praise  satan  in  her  free  time.  "philosophy?"  jericho  had  spent  precisely  two  semesters  in  college  before  deciding  it  wasn't  for  him,  philosophy  was  sure  as  heck  not  his  topic.  "okay  so  there's  a  chance  he  could  have  come  across  something when he was teaching",  it's  murmured  more  to  himself  than  her,  already  plucking  motives  and  grouping  them  together.  "maybe,  yeah  maybe  having  a  look  will  help  out."  it  wasn't  like  he  had  any  other  leads,  not  when  he  could  barely  understand  what  had  been  scrawled  on  the  property.  but cairo mentioned books and he could power through the night long enough to skim through a couple and search. "coffee  sounds  like  a  fucking  dream  honestly."  reaching  into  his  pocket  jericho  records  a  brief  clip  of  the  house,  capturing  the  weird  symbols  before  pocketing  it  and  following  her  lead.  "so  you're  gonna  sell  up  once  you  get  everything  sorted  out  here?" maybe there'll be some out of town family looking for a change of pace , someone who won't happen to know about this incident.
