I pulled up in front of our new house. I looked at the beautiful mansion.

"The house is so beautiful dad." said Max. "It's a little scary." replied Elliot. I got out of the car and took a moving box. Max gently lifted a sleeping Annabelle in her arms. I unlocked the door and walked in. I dropped the boxes on the floor and sighed tired.

This week has been a hell. I feel completely exhausted. I didn't think it would be so difficult to move. But the divorce from my ex-husband was more difficult. I still love him with all my heart. I was proud of myself, I haven't drunk or doing drugs in seven years.

I placed a photo of me and my sisters on a shelf. My sister Emily lives in Paris with her family. The death of Annabelle took a heavy toll on all of us. She couldn't stay, it was too painful. Emily moved to France and met a famous fashion designer. They got married shortly after. Max came in after a few minutes. Annabelle was sleeping peacefully in her arms.

"She look just like her

"She look just like her." said Max. "Annabelle would have loved her." I replied sadly. "She'd teach her everything about music and fashion." said Max. "Do you think she can see us?" I asked. "She's probably sitting on a cloud and looking down at us." she said. "I think so too." I replied and smiled.

I went out to the car to pick up the last moving boxes. A woman passed me with her dog. She had a concerned look on her face. Her dog barked happily at me.

"Is everything alright?" I asked worried. "Yes." she said. "You seem to be concerned about something." I replied. "Oh, it's just the house." said Marie. I just nodded my head. "How many children do you have?" she asked. "I've three kids." I said. "A horrible event took place in that house many years ago." replied Marie.

"We've just moved here." I said. The woman looked sadly at me. "I hope you change your mind." she replied and walked away. I took the boxes and walked back into the house.
