Abie froced the door open.

Kate winced at the noise it made but followed him in.

There was coat of dust on everything. He locked the door.

(Dinner.)

((Kay.))

Kate moved into the house, looking around- everything was pretty much the same. A few knick-nacks were gone but that was because her aunt had taken them when they had left- after her grandmothers death. But everything else was still there.

He sqeezed her hand.

"It's all so... old now." she murmured. "I remember it when we were kids- all bright and happy..." she sighed and squeezed his hand back.

"We can make it that again."

"Us?" she asked, stopping sudddenyl, her head snapping to look at him.

"Well I uh..I mean while we're here, see?" his blush told a differt story.

Kate smiled a little shyly and squeezed his hand once more,

"I guess we can try." she offered tentatively.

He hugged her. 'Let's see what's all in here."

"Kay." she smiled and hugged him back before going to poke around. It was like treasure-hunting.

He followed close behind.

Kate led him to the back of the house- her old bedroom and pushed the door open. She smiled. It was still the same- if a little dustier.

"You're Grandma never let me set foot in here."

"There was a reason for that." she chuckled, giving a small smile.

"Come on, he laughed. "I even turned away when you undid your hair."

"I saw you peeking." she laughed, "She was very serious about what was 'proper', wasn't she?" she smiled, recalling her stern grandmother fondly.

"Told me, 'no boy shall go there unless he has a wedding ring or callor (as in white thing prists wear)

"An' she would have meant it too." she laughed, wiping away a tiny tear that leaked out. "Funny old goat."

He hugged her. "But very sweet."

"Very." She agreed and nodded.

He stopped and put his hand on her cheek. Then he moved his lips over hers. There was pently of room to jerk back.

Kate blinked and stiffened a moment then smiled a little shyly, not pulling back. It was the second time he'd kissed her and it was... growing on her.

He broke it off slowly. "I.." he blushed around the ears.

She bit her lip and giggled shyly, pushing her hair behind her ears,

"Um..." she could feel her own cheeks heating up.

He just pecked her again for lack of anything to say.

She smiled and ducked away, going to re-discover her dresser. She had always had a few boxes placed there and hid all her special things in them.

He watched.

Popping open the lid to her old music box, Kate smiled softly as the song started playing. She remembered dancing around her room to the old tune when she was little.
