FIFTEEN / LILITH

We walk into a huge foyer, from there the rest of the house opens up. The air is stale and musty. First thing I need to do is air it out. The floor plan is open and I like it that way. Everything is on one floor. As we go from room to room we notice little things the house offers like original art deco fixtures and stained glass windows in small alcoves and above the door. I open windows as we go. We make our way to the indoor pool. The room has beautiful mosaics in a Mediterranean style. Everything is in blues and white. Except for the pulsing portal to Hell. It shines bright with its copper hues. After that we go to the master bedroom. The bedroom has an actual Tiffany window in it. The wine cellar already has our wine we sent back with Aidan in it. Our Persian rugs have arrived and all the other purchases we made on the cruise.

I will have to do some major shopping to fill it up. I am ready to start doing that today or to get Aidan to help me.

I take Manda by the hand and run with her into the main living room. She lets out a small giggle. I point to the chairs Aidan set up temporarily for the company this afternoon and he gets my point, making them disappear.

“Aidan can you bring over all the rugs I bought? I want to start with them and then will build the rooms around them.”

“Done,” Aidan says. He snaps his fingers and twelve rugs lay on the floor.

“Let’s unroll the edges of them and see what we have to work with,” I say. “Manda, can you help me with that?”

Manda looks panicked at first but she slowly moves toward the edge of one of the rugs and gently rolls it open about a foot. She looks mesmerized by the colors and smoothes her hand across the soft Persian rug. All her senses are on overdrive, the softness of the rug, the colors, even the smells still attached to them of the foreign countries are stimulating her.

“Manda, what do you smell? Close your eyes, sweetheart, and take a deep breath,” I ask her.

“I-I smell an old woman, spices and animals. Is that okay?” she asks. My heart melts for her. She is so nervous. I see Aidan frown behind her. I know he is thinking the same thing.

“Of course that’s okay and it’s all right on the money too. You’re very good at this for being so young. Come and help me open the rest of the rugs so I can decide which one goes in this room.” I hold my hand out to her to encourage her. She takes it with a huge smile on her face. They shattered this poor woman and I’ll be damned if I don’t try my best to help put her back together.

We unroll each of the rugs and stand back while we look at them.
