Not as a decision made quickly — we had talked about it for weeks, slowly, the two of us learning the careful choreography of two people who shared blood and history and almost nothing else. I had offered. She had hesitated. Then, one afternoon in late autumn, she had simply appeared at the gate with two suitcases and the specific expression of someone who had decided that hesitation had run its course.

She wore a shawl over her shoulders, giving her the appearance of a kindly grandmother—but Jane immediately felt the weight of her scrutiny. “Nathaniel,” the woman said warmly, “aren’t you going to introduce me to your friend?” “Of course,” Nathaniel said, gesturing between them. “Detective Jane Michaels, meet Eleanor Marks. She owns the bookstore on Main Street.” “Pleasure to meet you,” Jane said, offering her hand. Eleanor shook it firmly, her smile wide but her gaze calculating. “A detective, huh? Must be fascinating work. I imagine you hear all sorts of things.”

“I don’t see why not. He’s part of the family.” The twins giggled, and together we started filling in the branches. I wrote Eleanor’s name carefully, explaining who she was, and how much she’d loved them even though they’d never met. I saw the wonder in their eyes as I told small stories—how she used to hum when she cooked, how she would sit with Stella and me on the porch during storms, telling us everything would be okay. “Did she make good cookies?” Eli asked. “The best,” I said with a smile.

This morning. I am in the hills. It is early autumn and the light is doing the thing it does in early autumn here, low and sideways and more beautiful for the angle of it. The stone wall is cold under my palm. The hills are the hills. Behind me: Silas in the library reading something he has been meaning to read all summer. Eleanor at her desk in the room that is always hers when she is here, working on a design for a flood-resilient school in a coastal town that came to the centre through the infrastructure authority's new community referral programme.

I look at him and hug him, kissing him on the lips. “Yes, he is a dragon, and we are going to see his people. As for how well Eleanor can explain.” I take his hand and pull him to follow. The dragon man named Rowan waits for us as we move closer. He turns and carries on walking. Eleanor is walking with him, chatting away like she has known him her whole life.

Raven finally muttered, trying her best to maintain a stern look "You've changed," Eleanor said."thirty days ago, you were someone else. But now, I see you for who you are. I'm proud of you Rave." After that, Raven tried to make pasta with Eleanor. She had found Mrs.Potts recipe book when she went to her room, that was all she had left of her. The pasta came out okay but not as perfect as Mrs. Potts's . Later that evening, the two girls went for a walk outside.

Yep. You see, Eleanor is a big fan of books. She's the type to ditch parties and social gatherings just to continue reading favorite novel. And when you're reading a good book, you need a good place to match the mood. Their school isn't that big so she found this place and immediately marked it as her territory, well not really as hers because the place is still the government's property. Yuan on the other hand ditched his class that time and is currently running away from his teacher when he saw the way to the garden.

Deeply, intimately personal. "You're an ugly sight," Rowena spits, her eyes raking over Eleanor from head to toe with obvious disgust, but her glee cannot be hidden. "Have you gotten so weak that this is what you have turned into?” she gives a laugh full of schadenfreude, “You really think you can stop me? With this pathetic appearance?" Eleanor doesn't respond to the taunts. Instead, she simply starts walking forward, her steps measured and deliberate. And as she moves, something impossible begins to happen.

All the lights in the house switches off. A_few_minutes_later..... The door opens and Eleanor steps in, she gasp when she sees it's dark everywhere! "Why is it so dark here?" She questions herself. Then, the lights suddenly turns on. "Wow!" She awed with a smile as she looks around. "Beautiful" she said. "It's just like a fairy tale paradise!" It's shining and sparkling everywhere... cool country music plays in the background. "Eleanor!" She hears her name and turn. She sees Micah kneeling, holding out a box... He opens it and there's a ring.
