After a little romp in the sack, Beelzebub and I spend the day visiting a few towns on the back of Adara. She's purring, which is really just a loud rumble, as we glide in the sky.

We're nearing the countryside where I used to live with Anakin and Micah and my heart clenches. Beelzebub tenses and asks what's wrong.

"We can stop by your home," he offers after I explain.

I chew on the inside of my lip.

Do I want to revisit that life? I can never go back there. All visiting will do is give me unrealistic desires. I'm High Lady; I won't ever be able to return to a remote life in the countryside.

I tense again when Beelzebub directs Adara before we pass the house. The abrupt change of plans has her snorting in irritation, but she turns and spirals down, slowing our pace enough to land a few hundred yards away from the dilapidated home.

The foliage is out of control, and the porch rails are withered. It's only been around ten years, but that’s been long enough to change my sweet, quaint little cottage into an old country home in need of work. The hell horses are gone; I sold them when I realized Anakin and Micah had left for good.

"Come on," B. says before sliding down Adara's shoulder.

Sighing, I follow after him and we pick our way through the thick grass and shrubs. Beelzebub doesn't say much, but when we reach the porch he says, "You go in first, I want to check out the stables."

I turn to ask him to stay, but I don't want to sound weak or needy, so I say, "Okay," and step up onto the porch like I'm not about to cry.

The door is unlocked. When I twist the knob and push it open, a thousand memories rush through my mind. Anakin and Micah fighting to get me inside first. Micah bringing out fresh baked bread. Anakin coming home with bottles of fae wine with a shit-eating grin on his handsome face.

I breathe out, calming my heart, and walk through the dusty home. The front is open concept, a large space for the kitchen and living room. A lot of our furniture is missing, probably thanks to looters, but the paintings I made are still on the wall. There are a few Polaroids, taken with a camera we took from Earth, in small frames on the kitchen counter.

Sadness washes over me as I look around at the remains of my old life and my heart aches for that little piece of home I feel when I'm with Anakin and Micah.

Leaving the kitchen and living room behind, I head down the hall to our bedroom. There are dents on the walls, and I know before I go into my old room that the dressers and bed will be gone. The closet is half open. I took most of my stuff with me when I moved to Earth, but some of the clothes I left behind are still hanging up.
